Who said anything about holding back?
It's just that ALLEGRO_WITH_MAGIC_MAIN as a configure option is not
completely pointless.
IMO we should consider END_OF_MAIN not needed for the unix port.
Except when it is. :P
I certainly think of END_OF_MAIN() as not being needed on UNIX, but
it's not strictly true and that is something to be aware of.
As I said, it's possible to configure a Linux system in such a way
that it is needed. I think at the time I implemented the /proc method
for getting the executable path this was the case on Debian, but it's
been a while.
