+The Allegro library provides C/C++ programmers low level routines commonly
+needed in game programming, such as input, graphics, midi, sound effects, and
+timing. It is cross platform and works with many different compilers.
+Originally developed by Shawn Hargreaves, it is now a group project with
+contributions from all over the world! Some of its key features include:
+ * Ease of Use - comes with comprehensive documentation and examples
+ * Extensibility - if the built-in functionality isn't enough, there
+ are many add-ons available
+ * Cross Platform - without changing a single line of code, you can
+ create versions for Windows, OS X, Linux, DOS, and others! Works
+ with many compilers, including DJGPP and VC++
+ * Open Source - anyone can contribute, including you!
+ * Free - it won't cost you a dime, and there are no restrictions on
+ its usage
+
+Allegro 4 can make use of sound patches like 'eawpats' for MIDI playback.
+If 'eawpats' is installed first then this SlackBuild will create a
+patches.dat from it.
+
+NOTE: This package conflict with Allegro (5.x). Do not install both.
