In the expression
s/@OCamlStdlibDir@/$(OCAML_STDLIB_DIR)/g
if you don't remove slashes, you get (after replacing OCAML_STDLIB_DIR),
s/@OCamlStdlibDir@//usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.2//g
which is not a good replacement. Using my subst, you get
s/@OCamlStdlibDir@/\/usr\/lib\/ocaml\/3.09.2\//g
which is better... and the \/ will become / in the target file.
I don't think there is anything context dependent regarding this...
FYI, you could also use s,@OCamlStdlibDir@,$(OCAML_STDLIB_DIR),g i
think (but if the name contains a "," you will have the same problem).
But in fact, the 100% portable way to do that is to copy the AC_OUTPUT
macro of autoconf, but i am a bit lazy for now.
