of course not , just saying that it is possible to have *simple* Makefiles
without using findlib (since OcamlMakefile is just a bag to hold those
@W%#%%!#$% ocaml compilation rules ;-)

Yes, if you know how to do that ;-)

yes, this is the main point... and what bothers me with things like
findlib,
[another thing to understant before going ahead]
(of course the fact that I do not fully understand what they do, does not
mean
that these are things to put in the trash...:-)

A few month ago I read the debian policy (yes :-) but I don't remember
it speaks about thing like that (Makefiles...)
there is something about ocaml ???

:-) yes, may be it looks stupid ... and certainly it *is* stupid,
first, I think to put it in /etc because one can think that, to some point,
an OcamlMakefile can be taylored for a particular site, so that it can
be viewed as a configuration file...
BUT, I was not sure of that, so that the first experimental package I made
yesterday stores the file in /usr/share/doc/ocamlmakefile if I remember
well...
