0005577: Windows: 'make install' fails when 'make opt' has not been run

Notes
(0007288) xleroy (administrator) 2012-04-06 16:16	A simple reason: under Windows, ocamlopt is always built; under Unix, it's not always built because it's not supported on every platform that ocamlrun/ocamlc run on.

I propose one of the following actions (by increasing order of preference): - Adapt Makefile.nt so as to force building the the native code version with the bytecode one (i.e. merge 'make opt' -- and also 'make opt.opt'? -- and 'make world'). - Adapt README.win32 to indicate clearly that 'make opt' has to be executed before 'make install'. Or at least document the 'make installbyt' target. - Adapt Makefile.nt to do the same as under Unix, so as to allow more flexibility.
