One day, Xavier told me that, if I remember well, they don't release the source
of the ocaml doc because they don't want someone to copy it and change it for 
its own compiler, based on OCaml (like moscow ml for example).

I-don't-remember-who did it between releases 3.00 -> 3.01 -> 3.02 
but not for 3.04 since we started to use ocamldoc and so there
were too many changes, i guess.
