Agreed. Installing the dependencies on osx is just too painful. But as I said before on this list, instead of providing binary installers, I think it would be much more productive for users and oasis devs to be able to bootstrap oasis provided with a raw ocaml install and a reasonably posix compliant unix system (let's pretend I didn't follow the discussion on ocaml for windows). Best, Daniel
