Ok, then build depend on ocaml-best-compilers, and do the rest of the build as
usual.

Notice that, i think, you still would have to depend on ocaml, altough it may
not be necessary, because ocaml-native-compilers depends on ocaml.

Also, your build depend on ocaml-best-compilers cannot be a versioned
dependency.

Please keep me and the list informed on your experience with this new process.
