No one's asked for it up to now, but if you wish to package it, please
go ahead!

If you're not used to packaging OCaml libraries for Fedora / RHEL
before then you'll find it helpful to look at one of the existing
ones.  Here are some simple ones:

   http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-augeas/ocaml-augeas.spec?revision=1.1&view=markup
   http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-csv/ocaml-csv.spec?revision=1.7&view=markup
   http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-facile/ocaml-facile.spec?revision=1.5&view=markup
   http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/devel/ocaml-ssl/ocaml-ssl.spec?revision=1.9&view=markup

You can join as a package maintainer if you want (see [1]), but if you
don't want to do that, then create a new bug for your package once
done in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/ and assign it to me.

If you have any other troubles making the RPM, just ask.

Rich.
