One part I don't understand are the changes to the audio addon. Why is 
the thread emulation you coded into the core not sufficient? What are 
the OpenAL changes for?

Additionally, the way you've done the time/timer etc (by literally 
copying files over) is just terrible. Can none of it be refactored to 
use the system driver abstraction?

In terms of the main loop... is there no main-addon-powered abstraction 
that can be made there? E.g. the Allegro main would register the thread 
emulator dispatch loop as the main loop which would then call the user 
main? Overall, even with this it's very sad that emscripten will force 
people to rewrite their code like that.

These are just the first few things I noticed as I glanced at the code. 
As I have get more free time, I'll look over it some more.
