On Allegro.cc, I have this file:

http://www.allegro.cc/files/4.0.3/allegro-enduser-4.0.3-win32.exe

Basically, that is just a mini installer that copies the alleg40.dll
to the Window/System32 folder only if it needs to be. (Ie, it is
missing or an older version is currently installed.)

I don't have one for 4.2.0 yet. However, I'm leaning toward just
having the alleg42.dll in a zip file and leaving it at that.

Regarding SF.net, I think a Windows enduser should be made for 4.0 and
put in the "enduser" category. I would think that only the alleg40.dll
needs to be in there. I don't think we should be responsible if
someone releases a project that requires a
debugging DLL. A similar package for 4.2 could be made as well.

This would allow for the "allegro-dll" category to be hidden forever.
(And as it is now, a google search for "download alleg40.dll" works
just fine...)
