Mmm, i was afraid of that, so should we keep the split, and use a recommends,
or not split it.
BTW, camlp4 + ocaml is 5.2MB, ocaml is 4.2MB and camlp4 is 1.2MB.
Should we consider splitting ocaml more in order to have smaller files (in
particular, we could move ocamlopt, ocamlc.opt, ocaomlopt.opt and ocamllex.opt
into a ocaml-native package, or maybe only the xxx.opt executables).
