oasis is not a build system. It is a package description format that
describes how to invoke the build (and more). So far there is only
built-in knowledge for ocamlbuild, but this may change, and you can
already call any external tool, so you can wrap any build system you
want. The intention is here more to create a uniform API for starting
the build, which may help packagers and other people who routinely build
software.
