Direct3D does not understand Allegro's color structure. It only 
understands the 32 bit packed byte color thing (e.g. like it was in 
A4). Even worse, the order of the color components is different between 
OGL packed byte and the D3D packed byte storage... making it impossible 
to use a single structure for the same purpose (without making it 
driver specific, as it is now). It looks a lot better right now than it 
used to though, thanks to Trent.

Many oddnesses are due to trying to make D3D and OGL work together. But 
definitely mention them if you remember them :)
