I would like to distribute executables in source form like this:

but this requires the ocaml package, which pulls in lots of development
libraries like libc6-dev which we don't want on our normal system. I
developed the attached patch to 3.06 which splits out an ocaml-interp
package, it would be great for me if this was made part of the normal
packaging. I think it would help promote ocaml as a Perl alternative.
Mmm, not convinced.
Please explain to me the benefit of doing it this way over simply
compiling the needed stuff to bytecode and simply execute it.
