Hi, there's a slight confusion over the intended meaning of
ALLEGRO_LINUX, whether it means we are building on a Linux system,
or whether Linux _console_ support was enabled during configure.
The implementation has always favoured the latter, so I'm proposing to
clarify it as such in the documentation.
Any objections? (make it quick)

Defined if you are building for a relevant system. Often several of these
