&gt; You plan to use ocamlfind only at install time, right? Why not
&gt; supporting it also at compile time? I'm thinking about something like:

I hadn't fully thought about it, but you're right that I should use it 
at compile and link time, tool.


&gt; CAML_PACKAGES = unix pcre
&gt;
&gt; Surely you can do the same using yours CAML_LDADD in conjunction with
&gt; "ocamlfind query", but it will be harder to use and less intuitive.

_PACKAGES sounds good. I'll add it on a per-makefile and per-target 
basis.


&gt; It shouldn't be a major change, should it?

No, and you're making me think I should just tackle the install stuff, 
too and get it over with. I do want to make things work without 
ocamlfind, too, though.


&gt; Thanks for your work
&gt; from an ocaml user that
&gt; has fought a lot with
&gt; automake in the past :-(

Yes, so many times I want to abandon the autotools for their messiness, 
but they always turn out to be _so_ convenient. I have yet to see a 
make replacement that is as flexible.

Cheers,
