Thank you for this suggestion. We have tried it on a development 
branch of the Sundials/ML library and it works quite well.

>4. compile the individual files in the library with

For the record, two details are worth noting regarding the "-open 
Sundials".

1. It works well with Merlin if one adds the line

      FLG -open Sundials

   to the .merlin file.

2. It does not work well with ocamldoc, which has no -open option.
   Maybe there is another way around this problem?

In any case, there currently seem to be some other limitations around 
ocamldoc and module aliases.

Tim.
