You're right. I commented out the inclusion of ocamlmakefile and rewrite the 
makefile, for that's the speedy way for me to produce the things. If you can 
help with ocamlmakefile, I'd glad to switch back.

I tried to produce the .cmo and .cmx files, then pack them, then the .cma and 
.cmxa files, as you said that's the way libraries are supposed to behave. 

Two problems remaining:
1. the -pack option for native code mode
2. the library cannot be automatically found when compiling, no matter what 
mode. I just added a META. I don't know what else to add to enable that, 
though explict inclusion of the path to baire library solves the problem.

Todo:
1. get in touch with the upstream author (I tried, just no response yet. I'm 
still waiting).
2. more test to eliminate bugs.

Best!
