It's mainly for the advanced user to configure Allegro independently of
any application. The user may prefer a certain driver or require a
certain workaround, across all Allegro programs.
The latter use, where an application ships with a (partial) config file
containing preferred values (editable by the user), would be a secondary
use, I think.
BTW, should we use ~/.config/allegro/allegro5.cfg now?
