Bug description

The -package flags would carry the corresponding -I flags, which may be necessary to build the C components. E.g. cstubs needs this.

I don't have the use-cases or time to test this feature myself. If you tell me that you or whitequark tested it and it works as you expect, I would be glad to merge it after code review. I would be slightly happier with a test for it in the ocamlbuild testsuite, but I won't make it a strong requirement.

(I'm rather thinking of "trunk only". Is anyone dead sure that this cannot break existing projects?)

I checked on an example that the -I flags were passed correctly.

I don't mind it being committed to trunk only, I was just looking at issues targeted 4.02.2 that could be fixed easily. It could potentially break exsiting projects as C stubs might be passed more -I options. Although it's quite rare for ocaml projects to install header files.

whitequark, could you confirm that it works as expected in the case of cstubs?

This fix was reverted in 4.02. See the followup #6809.
