+Note to packagers (e.g. for Linux distributions)
+------------------------------------------------
+
+Allegro 5.x is *not* source compatible with Allegro 4.2.x or 4.4.x.
+When packaging Allegro 5, please make it possible for users to install
+Allegro 4.x and 5.x simultaneously.  For example, if you already have
+an 'allegro' package, then you might name the new package 'allegro5'.
