The fact that Ocamlbuild does not pollute my working directory is a key
feature to me and I would frown at everything which would compromise it.
I don't even like the links to the executables and I call Ocamlbuild
with the -no-links option.
Tuareg has been able to find the .annot files in the _build directory
for some time now.
