No, i will keep ocamltk as is for now, since the upstream ocamltk doesn't
support shared library build right now anyway, and adding it myself has proven
too fastidious (i tried 2 times). Anyway, it will be merged with labltk and
thus disappear, so ...

Why not make 2 packages here, one with ocaml library packages and one with
ocaml developpment stuff ? 

Or maybe a ocaml-shared-libs and ocaml-libs

or ocaml-libs and ocaml-devlibs, or somethign such ?

Good luck ...
