Summary: keeping a key pressed will also send release events often


Initial Comment:
while the only thing happening in an allegro program.
is keeping a key pressed for a prolonged period of.
time, it so happens that also release events occur.
between those press events of the same key. (tested 
in X window system v7, ubuntu 6.06 ...)

allefant(Elias Pschernig) on #allegro suggested this
change(just giving credit where credit is due)
on ./src/x/xwin.c at line 2294 (on the 4.3 svn
revision 7443, current as of 03 August 2006):

(event->xkey.time <= next_event->xkey.time +1))

which I've tested it and it compiles to run ok(, but
who knows what other side effects this fix may have,
but so far it is a good workaround.)
