my problem is to run program like camlgrenouille : camlgrenouille is
distributed as a binary package containing a #/usr/bin/ocamlrun

diversion can be useful for having this ocamlrun in several package
at the same time.

well, my problem is not a transition problem. it is the use of third
party program.
