It's not better. It's not the same thing; ocamlcs could indeed be implemented with ocamlfind. The idea is to collectively define a set of things like pa_openin, a Unicode library or a Xml library, include them by default in a meta-distribution, and patch or wrap over the base commands to ensure that those can be used with little to no command-line flags. In other words, using unicode should be as simple as using a built-in library; in particular, I don't want to have to add -I +unicode; it would be fine if I could just add unicode.cma; better if I didn't have to. -- Berke DURAK
