Bug description

Hello O'Caml team,

I'm looking forward to work with OCaml 3.07.

currently working with OCaml 3.06, Findlib 0.81, PCRE-Ocaml 5.03.3, Ocamlnet
0.96, Pxp 1.1.94 with Wlex-20021107 under W2k Cygwin gcc 3.23 (implementing
a XML-application in medical informatics) I tried to install the same
configuration with OCaml 3.07b1. I did the following procedure three
times on two different computers observing the same problem:

Compilation of Ocaml3.07, Findlib 0.81 and PCRE-Ocaml 5.03.3 (STATIC=1)
without problems. Installation of Ocaml and Findlib without problem.
Installation of PCRE (under Findlib) doesn't work correctly:

$ make STATIC=1 install

make[1]: *** [libinstall] Fehler 3
make[1]: Leaving directory /cygdrive/u/usr/home/Install/pcre-ocaml-5.03.3/lib'

Findlib installs in "site-lib/install" not in "site-lib/pcre"; other
commandline parameter of ocamlfind show "strange behaviour", too.

I can't work/test with "ocamlnet" and "pxp" on Cygwin/Ocaml3.07b1 because of
the dependency on findlib of this libs.

I reported the problem to Gerd Stolpmann yesterday as I encountered it with
the last CVS releases.

Martin
