Only a standard coming from caml's =20 development team is likely to be widely adopted. For example I =20 personally don't use ocamlfind and find very annoying any library =20 that _forces_ me to use it to install it. I would be entirely satisfied by a very simple solution e.g. each =20 library in its own directory in `ocamlc -where`, with everything in =20 there (including documentation) according to a standard directory =20 layout.
