You can remove volatile by just building with -version=NoVolatile.  But 
I suppose it won't work unless you add __gshared to all the non-const 
globals.  Or something, I'm not using D 2 myself.

It's to make it easy to build both with and without volatile.  Most of 
this stuff is explained in the readme or somewhere in the code itself.

I know there's someone working on allegro 5 bindings, but I don't think 
they're done yet.  No announcement has been made.  But if you want to 
update dallegro, I'll try to answer questions at least.
