Yeah, the path functions are the right solution...
I see a problem with using allegro.cfg, though: It's not possible to
automatically set the config variable based upon the platform (AFAIK).
The first alternative that comes to mind is the usual chain starting
with #ifdef ALLEGRO_DOS... How would that unfold for each platform?
This is such a small problem, it seems not worth discussing. On the
other hand, everything nook and cranny deserves polish for the 4.2
release.
