Currently, 5.0 and 5.1 can't be used on the same system (at least
linux). Sure, all the files are there and pkg-config attempts to
differentiate between the two but the ultimate library linked in is
-lallegro for both 5.0 and 5.1 so whichever version you install last is
the version that will get linked in.
Should the naming conventions of the library change so that we can use
-lallegro-5.0 and -lallegro5.1? Possibly symlink liballegro to whatever
the latest is if people truly don't care (although thats probably a bad
idea in general).
A further issue is the headers are installed to include/allegro5. Maybe
they could be installed to include/allegro5/5.0 or something.
