Hm, should we make things extra-general and have a function
al_set_standard_path(int id, ALLEGRO_PATH *path)?
It would allow overriding any of the system paths with user provided
ones. Probably overkill as the only time it would make a difference
would be that we make the Windows port look for DLLs in
ALLEGRO_RESOURCES_PATH. Still, it might make some things easier, you
can e.g. keep using al_get_standard_path(ALLEGRO_RESOURCES_PATH)
throughout your code even if in the Ubuntu Store compile of your game
you'd use al_set_standard_path("/where/ubuntu/expects/it") earlier.
