This is a long standing issue for the ocaml package. We talked about it
in the past but IIRC we had postponed the problem due to the imminent
(in the past) release of ocaml 3.07. Now it could be the time to think
again at this problem.

The dependencies come from two parts of the ocaml standard library:
graphics and tcl/tk. I'm in favour of splitting them away from the main
ocaml package so that ocaml/ocaml-base could avoid the infamous
dependencies on X.

Cheers.
