I am not the port maintainer but have been meaning to upgrade it for
awhile but it's a slightly complicated port.  Hopefully I'll find some
time in the next few months.  But using opam works for this and it's
what I use.  But I think the latest version of opam to come out will
require a new ocaml so that might be a forcing function.
