Don't do extern int _mangled_main() - since it might be either
_mangled_main(void) or _mangled_main(int, char**). Instead, use a function
pointer pointer and point it to _mangled_main (which is what Allegro does
now, except that it needs to get the address through the END_OF_MAIN()).
I'd also prefer not to rely on potentially unsafe compiler-specific
name-mangling for anything.
