I have an old (and fairly small) project that I've tried at least
thrice to migrate off OcamlMakefile to something more
modern/ocaml-specific, and failed each time (after spending 1-2
evenings on it). I'll give it another go and report back on my
experience, but at least historically OCamlMakefile was the easiest
thing to get up and running.

You can see the pretty simple makefile here:
https://github.com/martindemello/varix/blob/master/makefile - I can't
remember exactly what difficulties I had with ocamlbuild and omake
now.
