It just isn't necessary. Make is for C developers, > not Ocaml package installation. So, in a similar system I'll call "MagicScript," because I'm talking hypothetically, not particularly about Interscript: * Efficient recompilation: Use a makefile tangler? Include a "make" python/OCaml module? If either of these, then "MagicScript" should provide them. * Typical "automake" actions: build, install, uninstall, etc - should be generated from metadata by "MagicScript" so I don't re-invent those wheels.
