AFAIK, allegro is designed to be installed like all the other DJGPP
packages.  The best way to see this is to just look at the contents of
the zipfile.  To extract it, put it in your DJGPP root directory and
unzip, preserving the directory structure (-d switch to pkunzip; default
behavior for unzip).

You will need to build the distribution to get working headers and
libraries, and may need to edit the LIBRARY_PATH, etc. in 'djgpp.env'. 
It should all be in the readmes.
