Better would be a better logging mechanism, someone wanted to do that
some time ago.. but soon enough if we do it in 4.3 - I'd simply add a
lot more logging, and you can then filter the log messages on a per-file
or maybe class basis. Like, if you set the ALLEGRO_LOG environment
variable to LOG_GRAPHICS, and run the debug version, it would write all
the log messages from the gfx subsystem to the log file.
