Then maybe we should not have that on Windows either.
One of the major annoyances with Allegro 4 (as a developer), at least for me, was the way it tried to force things like continuous mouse movement on all platforms, whether they could support that natively or not.
Either we need to tell users that they have to check if the feature is available (in which case we need a mechanism for that) or simply force them to write portable code by not providing the feature in the first place and shwoing them how to do it in a portable way instead.
