Because the .cmo are incompatible between 3.01 and 3.00, and will most
probably be incompatible with 3.02 or so, that said, it is no problem for all
stuff that are no libraries.

I think all the ocaml team are redhat users, ... :)))

Well, no problem, just put 3.01 there and compile 3.00 in /usr/local or
something such.
Now, we could have a parrallel installation of both 3.01 and 3.00, or
somethign such, putting each 3.01 stuff into /usr/lib/ocaml/3.01, but is it
worth it ? Would be nice for a ocaml-cvs-latest though.
