Today, Judicaël Courant gave me an introduction into camlp4. I
absolutely agree that it would be useful to package IoXML. There
is, however, a reson not to include it into ocaml-tools: An IoXML
package would include native versions of a library, hence
the package would be architecture dependent. The ocaml-tools
package, on he other hand, is architecture independent (and I
would like to keep it this way).
