I not agree with the build of an 'ocaml-extra-libs' package, I prefer keep the packages separated. This is only for the reason of the finer dependencies control we may obtain keeping them separeted. Another reason is that a user may want to install only one library of the bounce provided by ocaml-extra-libs and use another version of a library provided in the same package (this is possibile and easy with findlib). Another point of interest: ok, it's better to keep optionally the dependencies on ocaml-findlib, but in doing this we have to fork the installation methods on the makefiles. For now I can only build netstring and pxp package depending on ocaml-findlib, in future .... Better if the various modules provides natively the two possible installation, now all the package from ocaml-programmind.de _require_ ocaml-findlib for installation. This is why we start packaging ocaml-findlib some times ago.
