True, but this is difficult to implement efficiently at run-time. To
check at compile time is trivial, but not particularly useful. All in
all, just about everybody has a copro/DX/Pentium these days, so I
personally think it's not worth the effort.
: - sound problems :
I haven't checked this under v2.1 yet, but in v2.0 there was a
slight bug in the MID playback routines which caused slightly uneven
timing at some places. If this hasn't been fixed and you haven't a clue
what I'm referring to, I can have a look and fix it if I can.

I agree with all of these, and would make the DJGPP directory one a
priority. I would suggest the path [...]/contrib/allegro as a sensible
location.
- auto copy files
Maybe the makefile should automatically copy liballeg.a and
allegro.h to the lib and include directories?
- aesthetics
IMO all references to palette and pallete should be interchanged.
