Hi

AFIK the Allegro wrappers go to version 4.0, and they are mostly wrapped,
apart from the 3d functions.

Ray wrapped them by first writing a c dll (compiled with gcc (mingw on Windows))
then linking euphoria to that. I too have been looking at extending
the allegro libraries (but please don't let that stop you).
