Yes, that's just what I said above.
However, you can transform:

#if ALLEGRO_VERSION*0x10000+ALLEGRO_SUB_VERSION*0x100+ALLEGRO_WIP_VERSION>=0x040104

with

#if defined ALLEGRO_MAKE_VERSION && ALLEGRO_FULL_VERSION<ALLEGRO_MAKE_VERSION(4,1,4)

which is more readable, though I grant you the program could define
ALLEGRO_MAKE_VERSION itself. I just posted this to see if people saw
it as useful, even with its shortcomings.

BTW, ALLEGRO_WIP_VERSION is kinda ill named now that we have something
like 4.0.3 lying around, though this is hardly changeable.
