This is a very good news. Let make it even better.

Some answer:
- the OASIS package ignores the --destdir:

There is an open bug for that
https://forge.ocamlcore.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=718&group_id=54&atid=291

Please read and comment. I just decided to let ocamlfind decide the
destdir. You can use ocamlfind env var to override this. Although, since
the problem appears even with findlib guru, I am willing to fix the bug to
take into account DESTDIR everywhere.

- missing QA

That is a work in progress. I setup a jenkins instance in order to run QA
test (http://deci.ovh.le-gall.net:8080/). If you have some basic
configuration for that, feel free to contact me.


Although, here are my idea concerning the topic

- we should always run "oasis setup" before building. This will enforce
having the latest setup.ml generated and not some random old piece of code.
I made a lot of effort to be able to have backward compatibility on _oasis
(i.e supporting OASISFormat: 0.2 and 0.3), let take advantage of this

- where can I find the specific code to handle oasis + GODI. I would like
to have a closer look.
