Summary: Way to get the current drawing mode

Initial Comment:
It's possible to set the drawing mode in Allegro 4.2 using the drawing_mode() function. I would like to see a function added to the stable (4.2) library or a future version which would retrieve the current drawing mode. At the moment, I have to maintain a flag to track this in threaded applications. Something called get_drawing_mode() for example, would be great.

Message:
I have tried to write a patch for this, however, I can't get Allegro to
compile on my system. It always bombs out while compiling some assembly
code. I have to rely on my distro to package the library.

However, I did write a patch which I think will work. The function is
really just one line to return the value of the variable _drawing_mod. The
patch is attached. It modifies two find, the gfx.h and gfx.c files. I hope
this will suffice.

I would accept a patch for this. Shouldn't be hard to add.
