Just so everyone knows, the file system code isn't the only part of Allegro that
has undergone major changes. The graphics API has gone through upheaval at
least twice. I originally implemented Bob's API and then had to redo it
completely. Same thing happened at least one time again. So don't be discouraged
by changing APIs. It will just make Allegro a better library.
