Well, I'm not sure it is needed either; One have to take care that the
lib don't depend on some otherlibs of ocaml (I mean unix, labltk..),
and may be a native code compiled program may need the lib but not
ocaml-base. The could be also a problem of compatibility with other
version of caml. (that is a lib compiled for ocaml-base-X.Y can not
work with a lib compiled ocaml-base-Z.T). We should do some test.
