Why don't you check on the GRX20 library, it is a High color and True
Color(16.8 million, all the human eyes can handle) Graphics Library,
although it does not support Game stuffs, it will be your advantage to
use it with Allegro.  Else, wait for the next allegro release, it
might contain the True/High color support.
