Well the "same name problem" is a problem only if the modules with the
same name are supposed to be linked together.
- lablgtk vs lablgtk2 is pretty clear and seems not to be a problem:
they definitely aren't supposed to be linked together
- labltk and shell again are a no problem. Looking at labltk META file
we can see that only labltk.cma is supposed to be linked with the
final application. This cma doesn't have references to any Shell
interface name
So probably Shell module @ lablgtk is an internal one, the real
question is: why we ship modules that aren't supposed to be useful?
After some more tests I discovered that labltk ships also a lot more
of modules that aren't linked in the cma: Baloon, Fileselect, Frx_*,
Jbp_font and more.
- labltk and camlimage inconsistency is a real problem:
zack@lordsoth:~$ cat a.ml
raise Image.Out_of_image;;
zack@lordsoth:~$ ocamlfind ocamlc -package camlimages,labltk -linkpkg a.ml
findlib: [WARNING] Interface image.cmi occurs in several directories: /usr/lib/ocaml/3.06/camlimages, /usr/lib/ocaml/3.06/labltk
Files a.cmo and /usr/lib/ocaml/3.06//labltk/labltk.cma(Image)
make inconsistent assumptions over interface Image
zack@lordsoth:~$
Actually applications that use an Image module can't use both
camlimages and labltk.
We should probably report this problem to the ocaml and camliamges
teams ...

This could be a problem indeed, we should ask camlp4 author ...
Cheers.
