But isn't AllegroGL about to seize existing as a separate project? It 
will be part of a potential 4.4 release and completely merged in for 
5.x, which will introduce the new, prefixed API, right? Users of 5.x 
aren't likely to know or care about the old AllegroGL library, are they?

I don't like all_ for the same reason, but what's wrong with three 
letter names in general? Less typing is good but three letters is hardly 
excessive.
