No, they aren't. However, the presence of .cmx files enables
cross-module inlining, so at least for select modules it is reasonable
to install them.

IMHO, the question of compiler switches is also important. I recommend
to build all modules with -g, because this enables debugging.
For some libraries I also install .p.cmxa, i.e. the same library
compiled with -p for profiling. I don't know how to do that with oasis,
though.
