Wouldn't it be fairly easy to add an #ifdef before the definition of allegros ASSERT so that we can take advantage of systems that provide a more advanced version of ASSERT ? I
use DJGPP and MINGW and I don't have MSVC so I'm not sure what the benefits would be. But then again I rarely use ASSERT in my own software (probably should) so I wouldn't have much use for it either way.
