Ah, well thats about the same deal. Just mount the native fs where you need it
and that problem shouldn't happen should it? al_fopen should only fail if the
underlying vfs can't find the file you're asking for (or you ran out of
resources). So if you're using physfs through allegro, make sure you only ask
for files you know will exist.
