I know several people who are doing this. The only problem I'm aware of
is that both libraries declare a SAMPLE structure. You can fix this with
a search-replace through one of the libs to replace it with some other
name, or probably just by using cpp to #define SAMPLE to something else
in one of the headers.

Or you can get mikalleg from x2ftp, in which Patrick Jenkins has already
done the work for you.

No. It's on my todo list, but fairly low down (getting Allegro 2.2 out
the door, and implementing truecolor graphics modes, takes priority). It
will happen at some point though - and even sooner if you have a few
spare evenings and feel like doing some coding... :-)
