Yes, and, to answer to Jerome, I see it as an improvement of ocaml that
permits mere-human user to compile against that part of the ocaml
library without having to remember name and placemente of the
corresponding .cma/.cmo.

Regarding your observation Sylvain, I agree that in such a case that
META should be installed in a common directory for META files. I will
restate my findlib's TODO list after 3.07 migration then
- ship a version of findlib that has /usr/lib/ocaml/3.07/META in the
  findlib path by default
- install in that directory the META you mentioned instead of in empty
  directories contained in the ocaml standard library directory

Thanks for pointing it out Sylvain.

Cheers.
