The ocaml-annot tool is an external command that integrates
with pretty much any editor, and looks in multiple locations for
the .annot file (pwd, _build, among others).

Works great for me, as it's pretty much the only fancy editor
thing I use (although that's likely to change with the forthcoming
binannot feature in 4.00!).
