Mmm, ...

Does this have to go into the debhelper package or the ocaml package ?

If it is the later, i see a chicken and egg problem, as ocaml-base provides 3
such dll locations which need to be added to the file.

But then, since ocaml-base is depended upon by all the other dll containing
packages, i suppose i could just have it provide a file with these 3
directories provided in it.

But then again, i suppose the best way would be to mark this file as
configuration file, which may be kept even if ocaml-base is removed,
especially if we do a --force-depend or something such.
