Ok, so we will move the directory.
And would it be ok with you to have multiple installations, if it in no
way impact the 'main' ocaml install, nor all the users ?
The plan i had was to have this other ocaml package installable, and
that only people who knew what they where doing could use it. That is
why i don't really like Stefano's symlink stuff.
But then, like i said, we have time to speak about it, and convince us
all that we did choose the right solution.
