Err, ...
not wanting to go into a war between both of them.
I personnaly much prefer Makefile code i have written myself. It is nice, does
all i want (like compilation in a separate directory, one common config
directory for the whole tree, recursive builds, it even do latex documentation
building. Will have to adapt it to not do recursice makes though, when i have
time), and i understand everything of what is going on.

That is why we need to make a ocaml-utils or ocaml-contrib packaghe with lot
of this kind of stuff in them.

Please read the packaging manual and the debian policy before packaging stuff.
