[AD] Fwd: multithreading Allegro?

[Evert Glebbeek <eglebbk@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Got this.
Does anyone have any clue what this is about, or is it just spam? If  
not, should we care?
As far as I recall, Allegro works properly on multi-core machines (or  
did a while back anyway), so internally I think we're good. As for  
supporting multithreaded programs with Allegro, I think the situation  
is:
4.9 - we support it, it works. Nothing needed there.
4.2/3 - we don't support it, it doesn't work and it never will. Don't  
care.
