I want the “allegro” variable to simply hold the latest version of
allegro.  If ever there’s a need to clarify (e.g. because we need to
keep around the last of the 5.x series when 6.x comes out) we can change
the name then.  As far as I can see that’s been our approach for some
other packages, too, most prominently “python”.
