I'm not interested in pursuing it.
Express Edition won't compile the SLATEC stuff (functions
too big, some limitation exceeded), full version costs money,
for either the free or full version there are license problems.
As ever, you or anyone else is free to build packages
with Allegro and distribute them as you wish.
FWIW
