I still don't understand what point you're trying to make.
Different flavours of UNIX need different solutions to get the  
executable path, completely independent of whether they support GLX  
or not. It also depends on how the system is configured (as I recall,  
the /proc method used by Allegro on Linux is configurable and can be  
disabled in the system configuration and therefore can't be relied on  
to always work) and what libraries and tools are installed (who know,  
maybe we can't run "ps" for some weird reason). So using a UNIX  
system doesn't tell you anything about how to best grab the  
executable path (other than the only truely portable method: grabbing  
argv[0]), having to use GLX tells you even less.

So again, I don't understand what sort of point you're trying to make.
