I had not thought about this... Actually, it is not a bad idea, at least, in my 
build system. Ideally, the build system would have to have a way of mangling the 
library namespace by packaging up findlib-managed libraries in a single package. 
Then, it would have to isse the desired -open directives to an ad-hoc camlp4 
syntax extension. It's a bit of a hack, but it could work. I wonder if it is 
general enough a solution to become mainstream, though.
