I found that porting from GRX to Allegro wasn't *too* painfull, and I
imagine a GRX<->Allegro layer wouldn't be too hard to implement (I'm
*not* volunteering, I've got other things going).  I found Allegro's
mouse handling just as nice (and more reliable, GRX crashed under me
alot under certain circumstances (I think the mouse handler was getting
paged out, though I dunno why)).
