Firstly, the patch is buggy:
1. AL_ERROR_SIZE should be ALLEGRO_ERROR_SIZE
2. register_error_handler should set error_handler not assert_handler

Secondly, allowing the user to throw an exception in a low level Allegro
function may bypass some cleanup code in parent functions.  I don't know
if I want to be writing code such that calls to error_handler are
delayed until all cleanup has been done, just in case someone wants to
throw an exception.
