I'm working on a game with A4 and A5 drivers. I started with A5 and
then added A4 support so it's the opposite of what is being
discussed here. It was actually very easy (took about 1-2 hours) to
convert. I simply copied al_* to m_*, and implemented m_* for A4
which was usually very easy. I used magic pink sprites not alpha
then used al_convert_mask_to_alpha for A5. Some things required some
custom code but overall it hasn't added a lot of time to the
development process.
