Re: [AD] Last iphone patch

It already has the scale as 2 by default on ip(od|hone)4. Maybe
I wasn't making sense in the documentation.  So if you create a
640x960 screen on iphone4 you'll get the full res. This function
allows you to change that, but it's manual. If you want 320x480
you have to set the scale to 1 and use 320, 480 when calling
al_create_display. I suppose we could eliminate the function
altogether but there may be cases (can't think of any right now)
where you want a scale that doesn't map to the same resolution
as 320x480*scale.
