It would have to also support statically linking against libpng and zlib for

Hmm.. first, I thought:
#ifdef ALLEGRO_STATIC_ZLIBPNG
functions...
#else
function pointers...
#endif
But I realized that wouldn't work for Allegro's internals. So there's
something to try and work out...
I suppose loadpng could be merged into Allegro and #define'd away if
SUPPORT_PNG or some such macro isn't defined.
No, nothing compile-time. We don't want seperate Allegro compilations of
the same version to be incompatible with each other.
I don't think the libs should be bundled
unless it is necessary to customize them for use with Allegro, and judging
from loadpng, that's not the case.
Only the binaries would be bundled, and that's only to promote PNG usage
(and give the user something they can distribute directly if they want
to use PNG). The libs don't have to be there.
