Yeah, ok, but splitting the X dependent ocaml-base stuff would be enough for that, was i was talking about would be a package with the ocaml compilers, and another with the libraries (well at least the otherlibs). Since these are only needed at development, and are statically builtinto the binary, i don't see the real need for this, which is why i am asking. Friendly, Sven Luther
