Installing. I think, the static/debug.. and so on should be settings
instead of targets, so you could do:

scons install debug=1

That would install the debug library.

scons install debug=1 release=1

That would install the debug and release library. (I know, I said in
#allegro that targets could be used for everything, but I hadn't thought
about installing then..) I assume, the alternative with targets would be
ugly, something like "scons install-debug-static"..

dumb, loadpng

The first would be a quite simple one, requiring only Allegro as
external prerequisite, AFAIK. The other would require libpng and libz.

Not sure yet how it should look in detail though..
