If you can think of a way to define a function in a header file only
_once_, you could put an inline function in the headers that returns the
version number. You can then call that function from allegro_init and
compare with the compiled in version numbers. I'm not sure if it's
technically possible to do this without getting multiple definitions
of the function, though.
