I don't think this is a suitable thing to include in Allegro. Of course
a good networking library would be a nice thing, and there are several
around, but it is a totally new and different thing to what Allegro
does, so it should be a separate library. There is no sense in merging
unrelated things just for the sake of it...

Already done: see the WIP version on my website.

Like the networking, IMHO this kind of thing is better done as a 
different library. And in this case one already exists: MESA. It 
has some flaws (software rendering isn't especially fast), but this
can be improved by anyone who feels so inclined.
