Hi, Is there a convenient way to develop OCaml code, and be sure that this code will be configurable, compilable, installable and executable without changes, on any environment where OCaml is available? I imagine a higher level "make", with most of its nicer properties, plus many enhancements. The following points seem important to me: - target dependency system - ease of use, nice syntax (for average humans with a simple text editor) - loadable modules - built-in programming language - built-in fileutils (cp, mv, cd, rm, ...) and functions (filters, ...) - universal paths for filenames inside the project tree - natural highlighting of environment-dependent elements - possibility of harmonious integration in a graphical development environment and also a very flexible license that allows its free redistribution and modification under any form. Until right now I didn't find anything like this. And I was really scared when I discovered Apache Ant. Any suggestions?
