     But stupid "industry" don't like TeX. :(
    They wants HTML or somthing like that. Is there any HTML output
    formatter for ocamlweb? Industry knows nothing about literate
    programming, as well as about many other progressive technologies.

    P.S. Maybe, all that we need, is a RAD tool for ocaml? It can
    look like a better module finder ("module name" -> "file name" is not
    a good idea. Paths in Java is much better), and a lot of reusable
    modules for common tasks (database, GUI)...
