mmm, will this package also build correctly on architecture that don't compile
thenative code compiler, like m68K ? If not, this is a serious or even release
critical bug which will promptly be submitted against your package by the
corresponding auto builders.
That said, it is normally just necessary to check for the existance of the
ocamlopt compiler, like it is done in other existing packages, mlgtk having
been the first where i implemented this. I suppose you did it already so, not
having seen the patch, but wanted to write this just to make sure you did.
