BTW, back in the days, ocaml-base was necessary for doing the stublibs registration magic. This is no more so, so it could indeed be dropped. But still, i don't know what you would gain by doing this, as i see no case where libsdl-ocaml could be usefull without ocaml-base being installed, and furthermore, depending on ocaml-base-<version> guarantee that we have no versioning mismatch.
