Not sure, compare this:

ALLEGRO_PATH *path = al_get_path(AL_USER_DATA_PATH);
al_path_set_filename(path, "myconfig.ini");
config = al_load_config_file(al_path_get_string(path, '/'));

vs (with current API):

char temp[1024];
al_get_path(AL_USER_DATA_PATH, temp, sizeof temp);
ALLEGRO_PATH *path = al_path_create(temp);
al_path_set_filename(path, "myconfig.ini");
config = al_load_config_file(al_path_get_string(path, '/'));

So to me it seems if we change it to return an ALLEGRO_PATH it would be 
easier to use..
