As a shameless plug, I'll point out something I wrote several years ago just for doing ad-hoc compilation (not building distributions), called obake:

https://github.com/pgroves/obake

I use it often as it matches my workflow precisely. I doubt I'll put much more work into it unless there is demand. The documentation is decent but it has poor performance on large code bases. 

It depends on ocamlfind already being configured to resolve dependencies.

Hi,

I believe this entry on the bugtracker is worth mentionning:
   "ocamlbuild should expose common interface as a library"
   http://caml.inria.fr/mantis/view.php?id=5869

More generally, ocamlbuild's development was mostly stalled but has
restarted recently. This should allow fixing many issues and
shortcomings.

There is not only ocamlbuild!

I would love to see projects such as obuild:

https://github.com/vincenthz/obuild

come out of the woods (like an official release announce if it is
ready for mass consumption) and become the de facto gold standard.

PS: even OCamlPro have written a tool to replace ocamlbuild
    (ocp-build)...
