I've wanted this for years.    so i made my own version of allegro that 
uses 128bit aligned data, this allows me to use SSE2 instructions for 
blending/mixing.

I think its vital to have aligned data.

If you find 128bit to be intolerable as a hard coded value,  may i 
suggest a way for the user to specify his alignment requirements ?
