Bug description
Currently external contributors may not know about magic numbers, when to update them, and what is the process to update them (in particular, I believe that a bootstrap is needed?).
This could be explained in comments in utils/config.mlp (I like having documentation close to the code) or maybe in utils/HACKING.adoc.

@damiendoligez and I were discussing an even more radical solution: just
derive the magic numbers from the version number, e.g. CamlTMMmmpp, where T
identifies the type of file, MM the major version number, mm the minor
version number, and pp the patchlevel. No more bumping necessary!
