I fully agree with the request. For CIL, I do this with a custom rule .mllib ->
.libfiles in myocamlbuild.ml, but it is an ugly hack I am not very proud of (and
in fact no quite sure how reliable it is):
https://github.com/kerneis/cil/blob/develop/myocamlbuild.ml#L7
I've seen reinvented in some Debian packages as well. A unified ocamlbuild +
ocamlfind mechanism would be great here.
