Even though I've pushed (cosmetic) stuff there, I've not yet fully
looked at everything.

There is already an automatically computed camlp5 ABI (have a look at
camlp5's provides). The question is: why dh_ocaml doesn't put it in
hol-light? I'll have a deeper look at this (but feel free to beat me on
this)

By the way, if one manages to use this automatic ABI, care should be
taken w.r.t. #549679. Basically, until this bug is fixed, the package
should be arch:any (because the ABI depends on the architecture, at
least theoretically).

Before doing that, I'd like to understand why dh_ocaml is not suitable.
