I'm not sure that's a good idea. The change you propose seems ok for
stable versions. WIPs can break binary compatibility, and I've read a
few cases of people compiling their own Allegro version and having
runtime problems or strange errors becase they had another .DLL
somewhere else.
OTOH that seems to be the case with Linux builds, so maybe that's not
too bad for unpopular platforms with few users.
