	I am using a special memory daemon for my 3D game to ensure correct
allocation of memory.  The problem is, no routine can use
malloc/realloc/free/new/delete!  ALL of these functions will probably
crash, as the daemon has allocated ALL free memory and even locked all
lockable pages.  This makes ALLEGRO want to DIE.
	I was wondering if there were any plans to make Allegro support something
useful for this, like a custom memory allocation/locking scheme (my daemon
lets you "lock alloc" a block of LOCKED memory).
	This is very important to me, as I plan on using this daemon a lot and
don't like the idea of rewriting Allegro.
