It would be very unlikely, because although they use the al and AL
prefixes, their naming convention is C++/hungarian-like, so they have
alWhateverDoThis and things like that. The only point where this could
conflict is with defines, since they also use uppercase underscore
separated names, but having had a quick glance at what they offer,
the names seem to be also very different from Allegro's.
