Findlib is a tool similar to pkg-config for O'Caml libraries. It is used by most
caml sources packages.

It should go in dev-ml or dev-util. Tarball's at the URL.

*Ahem*... a few things: 
 
- findlib is NOT GPL-2. It is under a BSD-ish license (w/advertising clause). See 
http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/documentation/findlib/ 
 
- Are you really sure about changing the location of the package install directory to 
/usr/lib/ocaml/site-packages instead of /usr/lib/ocaml/site-lib? It would seem to me to be 
more sensible to use the default...? 
 
- There is a version 0.8.1 out. :)
