  Other linux distributions don't need to see -I flag and they
  ship files in /usr/lib/ocaml/caml. This is also where the
  ocaml tarball installs files (it can be /usr/local).
  So, I'd like that we keep compatibility with other distributions.

  Olivier Andrieu told me it is important to use ocamlc for
  compiling C stubs because it uses the GCC that was used to
  compile the ocaml compilers. So, there cannot be confusions
  between C compilers.
