Support drag and drop?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I'm not sure if this is feasible with Allegro, but if drag and drop can be 
supported natively with support for Win/Lin/Mac, then it will add more 
convenience.  Initially, the "load via command line" logic could be used.  
Later on, mechanisms like dragging and dropping a new audio file into EOF to 
perform "load OGG" could be provided.

Asking on the Allegro IRC channel, it doesn't look like Allegro supports this.  
The most likely solution I found so far would involve using the wxWidgets 
library.

wxWidgets might also provide a cross-platform way of accessing the clipboard, 
but adding yet another dependency to EOF will make it more difficult for people 
to build.

It may be worth seeing if Allegro 5 has any built in support for drag and drop. 
 At least one other third party library supports drag and drop:

But I don't know if it's worth adding a new library just for this functionality.

On hold until the port to Allegro 5.

Allegro 5 still not supports Drag&Drop.

This would take a lot of coding for what amounts to a slight convenience.  It 
may not be worth the effort.
