Here's an idea. Perhaps the domain could be a site that hosts the DLLs 
etc. needed to run dynamically-linked builds of Allegro programs. It 
would be nice to have a place where you could download alleg42.dll for 
4.2.1 (and alleg40.dll for 4.0.3 if you want to run older programs). In 
fact, if someone is writing a script for an installer that installs a 
dynamically-linked app, if it detects that Allegro is not installed on 
the system (or an older version is installed), it could download the DLL 
from a URL that always stays the same. Of course, if the apps were 
statically linked, this hassle will be avoided, but sometimes, I still 
come accross dynamically linked apps built with Allegro 4.0.x.

Speaking of which, I have so far not been able to find a place where I 
can download a pre-built .dynlib of Allegro for the MacOsX. Is this 
because Mac .dynlib's are like Linux .so's in that they have to be built 
on the target machine, or has nobody bothered to upload a pre-built .dynlib?
