At the speed of today's computers, choosing 'modules' as the grainyness level to do seperate compilation seems out-dated. Creating a way to = collect modules together (call them packages for lack of a better term) and = having seperate compilation at the level of packages instead of modules would probably be a better tradeoff point these days. I know of people who have their 'build' scripts concatenate all their = Ocaml source files into one large file before compiling anything; the = resulting compilation time is still very short, but the corresponding executable = is significantly faster!
