I could modify the installation to default to a subdirectory, but I'm not sure that it offers much benefit. For large packages that install many modules, it might help to be able to easily uninstall by deleting a directory. Until Caml has real package support, installing into the OCAMLLIB directory is probably the best policy. This will find conflicts between module names sooner rather than later and makes the use of the modules easier. Installing non-INRIA modules into a single subdirectory like 'contrib' might be a reasonable alternative though.
