I'd like to have ocaml support in autotools (autoconf + automake), to avoid heavy code duplication between several projects (at least ocmalimages and activedvi). Autoconf support is quite simple to do, and even already done (I easily found reference to http://www.lri.fr/~filliatr/ftp/ocaml/misc/configure.in. But instead of loosely distributing those macros in a custom package, as currently done in Debian, I'd like to submit them directly to autoconf maintainers (with some modification, and with author's agreement of course). They are OK for this, provided there is some prior consensus in ocaml community first, to avoid continual macro change request of course. Automake support is more complex, but apparently someone already tried it, as discussed at http://caml.inria.fr/pub/ml-archives/caml-list/2003/12/c9bf9f5d4423a9259f12ccc805fe4c1 d.fr.html http://sourceware.org/ml/automake/2003-12/msg00153.html I'd be interested in current status of this effort before further investigation.
