Allegro is a portable library mainly aimed at video game and multimedia
programming, originally started by Shawn Hargreaves for the DJGPP compiler
in a mixture of C and assembler.
According to the Oxford Companion to Music, Allegro is the Italian for
"quick, lively, bright". It is also a recursive acronym which stands for
"Allegro Low LEvel Game ROutines".
