I think it so, but what about changing the method used in upstream
version ?
Is better to keep unmodified the upstream version or to use install ?

I thought to ocamlfind cause imho is the easiest way to package a bounce
of ocaml modules (xstr, netclient are only two of them) that use
ocaml-findlib.
I do not know a lot of ocamlfindlib, but if ocamlfind is invoked with
arg 'install', it look to the standard module dir of ocaml and try to
install a new module creating a subdir for this module.
It does not overwrite any existing dir and copy in the final dir the
files given as other args.
For example, this is the line in xstr Makfile that use ocamlfind:
install: all
{ test ! -f $(XARCHIVE) || extra="*.cmxa *.a"; }; \
$(OCAMLFIND) install $(NAME) *.mli *.cmi *.cma META $$extra

sorry but I not know so precisely what ocamlfind do, btw if I have to
package it I'll learn it :)
