We never change the real screen resolution on OSX. As such, offering a list
of resolutions is pointless. Instead of that, offer the user a list of
commonly used window sizes up to the current screen size.
Many of the member variables that are used in save/load are inside types
that are not standard layout types. Using pointer arithmetics to determine
addresses of members inside types that are not standard layout is generally
undefined behaviour. If we'd use C++17, it is conditionally supported, which means
each compiler may or may not support it. And even then using it for individual
array elements is syntactically not supported the the standard offsetof function.
Unfortunately, the trickery employed for saving linkgraph settings causes quite some
clutter in the settings ini files.

In testing, I could find no reason why this statement is here.
The comment is rather unclear (it states what it does, but not
why it would be needed).
This line of code was introduced with f4f40448, which gives no
further insight on why it would be needed to have it here.
As such, let's remove it and see if anyone else reports any
problems with it. If so, this commit can be reverted and a more
clear comment should be added what this line of code is dealing
with (the WHY, not the WHAT).
This means the code depended that the caller did this for us
before MakePalette() is executed, which is neither a
requirement nor a promise the code makes.
On some distros allegro v5 is called allegro-5, but on some others
it is not. So this should fix for all distros that allegro v5 is
not being picked up, and only v4 is.
When the wayland SDL video driver is used, an EGL context is
created in the main thread. It is not allowed to update this
context from another thread, which is exactly what our draw-thread
is trying.
The other solution would be to move all of SDL into the
draw-thread, but that would introduce a whole scala of different
problems.
The wayland SDL backend is significantly faster than the
X11 SDL backend, but there is a performance hit nevertheless.
nielsmh nicely correct us in #8641, pointing out the old comment
is not telling a complete truth. The result is the same, but it
is better to not mislead future-us.
