That's idea should be considered, but IMO is a bit more invasives. There
are a lot of Makefiles and configure scripts that check for ocamlc vs
ocamlc.opt and make decision on that assuming that ocamlc is the non
optimized version of the compiler.

I doubt we can do any harm having ocamlc being in reality the .opt
version, but we are changing what they believe on the usual ocaml
installation.
