Summary

0005940: Clean up the compiler library interface

Description

I just take a look at how Fan depends on the compiler library today, and find that the dependency is quite minimal, but with a bit clean up in the compiler library, maybe it could remove the dependency on the compiler library.

Dependency on the compiler related:

Config.ast_intf_magic_number
Config.ast_intf_magic_number
(* suggestions: move them to Sys library*)

parsetree.mli
location.mli
longident.mli

(* suggestion:
   location.ml and longident.ml may be could be removed following the same convention as parseetree.mli
   and then distributed with the standard library
*)

typedtree.mli
types.mli
cmi_format.ml
(*
  These are advanced features provided by Fan, so maybe it is acceptable to linking with the compiler
*)
Thanks
