  Description     : Build tool for building OCaml library and programs

OCamlbuild is a generic build tool, that has built-in rules for building OCaml 
library and programs.

It was distributed as part of the OCaml distribution for OCaml versions between 
3.10.0 and 4.02.3. Starting from OCaml 4.03, it is now released separately.

Its job is to determine the sequence of calls to the compiler — with the right 
set of command-line flags — needed to build your OCaml-centric software 
project.

It was designed as a generic build system (it is in fact not OCaml-specific), 
but also to be expressive enough to cover the specifics of the OCaml language 
that make writing good Makefiles difficult, such as the dreaded units Foo and 
Bar make inconsistent assumptions about Baz error.
