Maybe a FAQ, but difficult for newbies to know when and how.

After a bit of experimentation I got this to work.

After about another hour and a half I did not succeed in compiling the
following program:

-------------------------
let s = "abcde";;
let t = Pcre.replace ~pat:"c" ~templ:" Hier gebeur 'n ding " s;;
print_string t;;
print_newline();;
--------------------------

I have read the man page for ocamlopt as well as the ocaml manual and
still do not know how to compile it!?  Maybe I am just dumb.

My latest effort was:

$ocamlfind ocamlopt -o rex -I /usr/lib/ocaml/contrib -ccopt
-L/usr/lib/ocaml/contrib  -cclib -llibpcre.a -linkall /tmp/rex.ml

No implementations provided for the following modules:
  Pcre referenced from /tmp/rex.cmx

The usage of ocamlfind made no difference.
