For my own stuff, I've been using a Makefile which includes a rule to
(re)compile setup.ml into an executable with ocamlc.opt (compiling
with ocamlopt was too slow). My usual development machine isn't
terribly fast and this has helped a lot.

I think there was a mention of an issue though but it can help a lot.
