I've seen this in too many OCaml projects indeed, and that approach has its own problems too. Fixes and improvements do not flow from one copy of the code to the other, codes eventually diverge and using the "real" library becomes harder as time goes on... This is a maintainance nightmare. Solutions should be found for each reason (development, deployment, performance,...) why OCaml libraries are not used like libraries, so that the incitive to go cutting&pasting disappears; because in my opinion it's terrible. I think a broad availability (either installed by default or at least *very* easy to install) on all supported platforms should be a start. As I understand Batteries is getting there.
