Is there a comparison of the old/new APIs somewhere?

I think a main goal should be that one doesn't have to write
touch-specific code if all he wants to do is track that somebody
clicked on (x,y). If the OS doesn't automatically do that, then I
think Allegro should require the programmer to enable distinct touch
events if he expects to process them. But perhaps nothing I'm saying
is relevant to the discussion...
