Once I was working on it in WGL but got frustrated because I could not do it 
properly, so I've deleted all the code I made :P Wasted a day.

I'm also afraid that AllegroGL way is the only way. Need to list all the 
visuals, using either XGetVisualInfo() or glXGetFBConfigs() on X11, or 
DescribePixelFormat() or GetPixelFormatAttribivARB() on Windows, decode the 
visual into driver independent format (WGL driver does everything mentioned so 
far), and let scorer give score to each visual. I can do this for Windows.
