-----------------------------------------------------------

This is what I had to patch because of problems unrelated to 3.12.1:

advi: 2 lines
  Change Makefile to link with graphics and lablgtk

boomerang: 1 line
  Change Makefile to remove "doc" from subdirs

cameleon: 5 lines
  Change ed_main.ml to remove call to GtkThread.set_do_jobs_delay
  Change checkocaml.ml: detection of lablgtkextras depends on xml-light
    configuration

camlimages: 15 lines
  Add oPng.mli and oJpeg.mli
  Change META file to add archives camlimages.cma and .cmxa (neeed for advi)

camlzip: 10 lines
  Change Makefile to configure the location of libz.a
  Add a META file for findlib

hevea: 2 lines
  Change hevea.ml to remove target file in case of error
  Change Makefile to pass LIBDIR and LATEXLIBDIR to install script

lablgtkextras: 40 lines
  Change checkocaml.ml and Makefiles to detect where is xml-light installed
    (see xml-light below)

oasis: 8 lines
  Change setup.ml to handle OCaml version numbers with a + suffix

obrowser-1.1: 13 lines
  Change in Makefile to add .PHONY annotation to AXO (my filesystem is
    case-insensitive, so AXO interferes with axo).
  Update pervasives.ml and pervasives.mli to reflect OCaml changes since 3.11.1

ocaml-data-notation: 3 lines
  Change in Makefile to follow name change of "type-conv.syntax" to "type-conv"
  Changes in pa_odn.ml to remove extraneous occurrences "_loc"

ocaml-fileutils: 2 lines
  Changes in Makefile to remove use of non-portable "install -t"

omake: 1 line
  Change in OMakefiles to remove "-warn-error A"
  Note: DO NOT use "-warn-error A" in released code.

vsyml: 4 lines
  Changes in Makefile to remove non-portable "echo -n"

xml-light: 3 lines
  Changes in Makefile to install in a subdirectory of .../lib/ocaml
    This is needed because xml-light exports xml.cmi and ocsigen has a
    file xML.mli.  These conflict because my filesystem is case-insensitive.
