Update OCamlMakefile to the latest version and include its README.

Updating isn't really necessary, I just wanted to be 100% that I had
the right version of the README for the version of the Makefile we had.
The main reason for including the README is to make the license clear.

+OCamlMakefile  - Makefile for easy handling of compilation of not so easy
+                 OCaml-projects.  It generates dependencies of OCaml-files
+                 automatically, is able to handle "ocamllex"-,
+                 "ocamlyacc"-, IDL- and C-files, knows how to run
+                 preprocessors and generates native- or byte-code, as
+                 executable or as library - with thread-support if you
+                 want! Profiling and debugging support can be added on
+                 the fly!  There is also support for installing libraries.
+                 Ah, yes, and you can also create toplevels from any
+                 sources: this allows you immediate interactive testing.
+                 Automatic generation of documentation is easy due to
+                 integration of support for OCamldoc.

+                 targets.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                      Why should you use it?
+
+For several reasons:
+
+  * It is well-tested (I use it in all of my projects).
+
+  * In contrast to most other approaches it generates dependencies
+    correctly by ensuring that all automatically generated OCaml-files
+    exist before dependency calculation.  This is the only way to
+    guarantee that "ocamldep" works correctly.
+
+  * It is extremely convenient (at least I think so ;-).
+    Even quite complex compilation processes (see example "calc.ml")
+    need very little information to work correctly - actually just about
+    the minimum (file names of sources).
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                     When you shouldn't use it...
+
+In projects where every compilation unit needs different flags - but
+in such complicated cases you will be on your own anyway. Luckily,
+this doesn't happen too frequently...
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+             How to use "OCamlMakefile" in your own project
+         (Take a look at the examples for a quick introduction!)
+
+Create your project-specific "Makefile" in the appropriate directory.
+
+Now there are two ways of making use of "OCamlMakefile":
+
+  1) Have a look at the default settings in "OCamlMakefile" and set
+     them to the values that are vaild on your system - whether the
+     path to the standard libraries is ok, what executables shall be
+     used, etc...
+
+  2) Copy it into the directory of the project to be compiled.
+     Add "-include OCamlMakefile" as a last line of your "Makefile".
+
+  3) Put it somewhere else on the system. In this case you will have to
+     set a variable "OCAMLMAKEFILE" in your project-specific "Makefile".
+     This is the way in which the examples are written: so you need
+     only one version of "OCamlMakefile" to manage all your projects!
+     See the examples for details.
+
+You should usually specify two further variables for your project:
+
+  * SOURCES  (default: foo.ml)
+  * RESULT   (default: foo)
+
+Put all the sources necessary for a target into variable "SOURCES".
+Then set "RESULT" to the name of the target. If you want to generate
+libraries, you should *not* specify the suffix (".cma", ".cmxa", ".a")
+- it will be added automatically if you specify that you want to build
+a library.
+
+      **      Don't forget to add the ".mli"-files, too!        **
+      **  Don't forget that order of the source files matters!  **
+
+The order is important, because it matters during linking anyway
+due to potential side effects caused at program startup. This is
+why OCamlMakefile does not attempt to partially order dependencies by
+itself, which might confuse users even more. It just compiles and links
+OCaml-sources in the order specified by the user, even if it could
+determine automatically that the order cannot be correct.
+
+The minimum of your "Makefile" looks like this (assuming that
+"OCamlMakefile" is in the search path of "make"):
+
+  -include OCamlMakefile
+
+This will assume that you want to compile a file "foo.ml" to a binary
+"foo".
+
+Otherwise, your Makefile will probably contain something like this:
+
+  SOURCES = foo.ml
+  RESULT  = foo
+  -include OCamlMakefile
+
+Be careful with the names you put into these variables: if they are wrong,
+a "make clean" might erase the wrong files - but I know you will not do
+that ;-)
+
+A simple "make" will generate a byte-code executable. If you want to
+change this, you may add an "all"-rule that generates something else.
+
+E.g.:
+
+  SOURCES = foo.ml
+  RESULT  = foo
+  all: native-code-library
+  -include OCamlMakefile
+
+This will build a native-code library "foo.cmxa" (+ "foo.a") from file
+"foo.ml".
+
+You may even build several targets at once. To produce byte- and native-code
+executables with one "make", add the following rule:
+
+    all: byte-code native-code
+
+You will probably want to use a different suffix for each of these targets
+so that the result will not be overwritten (see optional variables below
+for details).
+
+You may also tell "make" at the command-line what kind of target to
+produce (e.g. "make nc").  Here all the possibilities with shortcuts
+between parenthesis:
+
+   * byte-code                     (bc)
+   * byte-code-nolink              (bcnl)   - no linking stage
+   * byte-code-library             (bcl)
+   * native-code                   (nc)
+   * native-code-nolink            (ncnl)   - no linking stage
+   * native-code-library           (ncl)
+   * debug-code                    (dc)
+   * debug-code-nolink             (dcnl)   - no linking stage
+   * debug-code-library            (dcl)
+   * profiling-byte-code           (pbc)
+   * profiling-byte-code-library   (pbcl)
+   * profiling-native-code         (pnc)
+   * profiling-native-code-library (pncl)
+   * byte-code-dll                 (bcd)
+   * native-code-dll               (ncd)
+   * pack-byte-code                (pabc)
+   * pack-native-code              (panc)
+   * toplevel interpreter          (top)
+   * subprojs
+
+Here a short note concerning building and linking byte code libraries
+with C-files:
+
+  OCaml links C-object files only when they are used in an executable.
+  After compilation they should be placed in some directory that is in
+  your include path if you link your library against an executable.
+
+  It is sometimes more convenient to link all C-object files into a
+  single C-library. Then you have to override the automatic link flags
+  of your library using "-noautolink" and add another linkflag that
+  links in your C-library explicitly.
+
+What concerns maintainance:
+
+  "make clean" removes all (all!) automatically generated files - so
+  again: make sure your variables are ok!
+
+  "make cleanup" is similar to "make clean" but leaves executables.
+
+Another way to destroy some important files is by having "OCamlMakefile"
+automatically generate files with the same name. Read the documentation
+about the tools in the OCaml-distribution to see what kind of files are
+generated. "OCamlMakefile" additionally generates ('%' is basename of
+source file):
+
+  %_idl.c  - "camlidl" generates a file "%.c" from "%.idl", but this is
+             not such a good idea, because when generating native-code,
+             both the file "%.c" and "%.ml" would generate files "%.o"
+             which would overwrite each other. Thus, "OCamlMakefile"
+             renames "%.c" to "%_idl.c" to work around this problem.
+
+The dependencies are stored in three different subdirectories (dot dirs):
+
+  ._d    - contains dependencies for .ml-files
+  ._bcdi - contains byte code dependencies for .mli-files
+  ._ncdi - contains native code dependencies for .mli-files
+
+The endings of the dependency files are: "%.d" for those generated from
+"%.ml"-files, "%.di" for ones derived from "%.mli"-files.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                                 Debugging
+
+  This is easy: if you discover a bug, just do a "make clean; make dc"
+  to recompile your project with debugging information. Then you can
+  immediately apply "ocamldebug" to the executable.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                                 Profiling
+
+  For generating code that can be profiled with "ocamlprof" (byte code)
+  or "gprof" (native code), compile your project with one of the profiling
+  targets (see targets above). E.g.:
+
+    * "make pbc" will build byte code that can be profiled with
+      "ocamlprof".
+
+    * "make pnc" will build native code that can be profiled with
+      "gprof".
+
+  Please note that it is not currently possible to profile byte code with
+  threads. OCamlMakefile will force an error if you try to do this.
+
+  A short hint for DEC Alpha-users (under Digital Unix): you may also
+  compile your sources to native code without any further profiling
+  options/targets. Then call "pixie my_exec", "my_exec" being your
+  executable. This will produce (among other files) an executable
+  "my_exec.pixie". Call it and it will produce profiling information which
+  can be analysed using "prof -pixie my_exec". The resulting information
+  is extremely detailed and allows analysis up to the clock cycle level...
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                             Using Preprocessors
+
+  Because one could employ any kind of program that reads from standard
+  input and prints to standard output as preprocessor, there cannot be any
+  default way to handle all of them correctly without further knowledge.
+
+  Therefore you have to cooperate a bit with OCamlMakefile to let
+  preprocessing happen automatically. Basically, this only requires
+  that you put a comment into the first line of files that should be
+  preprocessed, e.g.:
+
+    (*pp cat *)
+    ... rest of program ...
+
+  OCamlMakefile looks at the first line of your files, and if it finds
+  a comment that starts with "(*pp", then it will assume that the
+  rest of the comment tells it how to correctly call the appropriate
+  preprocessor. In this case the program "cat" will be called, which will,
+  of course, just output the source text again without changing it.
+
+  If you are, for example, an advocate of the new "revised syntax",
+  which is supported by the camlp4 preprocessor, you could simply write:
+
+    (*pp camlp4r *)
+    ... rest of program in revised syntax ...
+
+  Simple, isn't it?
+
+  If you want to write your own syntax extensions, just take a look at the
+  example in the directory "camlp4": it implements the "repeat ... until"
+  extension as described in the camlp4-tutorial.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                     Library (Un-)Installation Support
+
+  OCamlMakefile contains two targets using "ocamlfind" for this purpose:
+
+    * libinstall
+    * libuninstall
+
+  These two targets require the existence of the variable
+  "LIBINSTALL_FILES", which should be set to all the files that you
+  want to install in the library directory (usually %.mli, %.cmi, %.cma,
+  %.cmxa, %.a and possibly further C-libraries). The target "libinstall"
+  has the dependency "all" to force compilation of the library so make
+  sure you define target "all" in your Makefile appropriately.
+
+  The targets inform the user about the configured install path and ask
+  for confirmation to (un)install there. If you want to use them, it
+  is often a good idea to just alias them in your Makefile to "install"
+  and "uninstall" respectively.
+
+  Two other targets allow installation of files into a particular
+  directory (without using ocamlfind):
+
+    * rawinstall
+    * rawuninstall
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                            Building toplevels
+
+  There is just one target for this:
+
+    * top
+
+  The generated file can be used immediately for interactive sessions -
+  even with scanners, parsers, C-files, etc.!
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                         Generating documentation
+
+  The following targets are supported:
+
+   * htdoc      - generates HTML-documentation
+   * ladoc      - generates Latex-documentation
+   * psdoc      - generates PostScript-documentation
+   * pdfdoc     - generates PDF-documentation
+   * doc        - generates all supported forms of documentation
+   * clean-doc  - generates all supported forms of documentation
+
+  All of them generate a sub-directory "doc". More precisely, for HTML it
+  is "doc/$(RESULT)/html" and for Latex, PostScript and PDF the directory
+  "doc/$(RESULT)/latex". See the OCamldoc-manual for details and the
+  optional variables below for settings you can control.
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+                           Handling subprojects
+
+  You can have several targets in the same directory and manage them
+  from within an single Makefile.
+
+  Give each subproject a name, e.g. "p1", "p2", etc. Then you export
+  settings specific to each project by using variables of the form
+  "PROJ_p1", "PROJ_p2", etc.  E.g.:
+
+    define PROJ_p1
+      SOURCES="foo.ml main.ml"
+      RESULT="p1"
+      OCAMLFLAGS="-unsafe"
+    endef
+    export PROJ_p1
+
+    define PROJ_p2
+      ...
+    endef
+    export PROJ_p2
+
+  You may also export common settings used by all projects directly, e.g.
+  "export THREADS = y".
+
+  Now it is a good idea to define, which projects should be affected by
+  commands by default.  E.g.:
+
+    ifndef SUBPROJS
+      export SUBPROJS = p1 p2
+    endif
+
+  This will automatically generate a given target for all those
+  subprojects if this variable has not been defined in the shell
+  environment or in the command line of the make-invocation by the user.
+  E.g., "make dc" will generate debug code for all subprojects.
+
+  Then you need to define a default action for your subprojects if "make"
+  has been called without arguments:
+
+    all: bc
+
+  This will build byte code by default for all subprojects.
+
+  Finally, you'll have to define a catch-all target that uses the target
+  provided by the user for all subprojects. Just add (assuming that
+  OCAMLMAKEFILE has been defined appropriately):
+
+    %:
+            @make -f $(OCAMLMAKEFILE) subprojs SUBTARGET=$@
+
+  See the "threads"-directory in the distribution for a short example!
+
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+         Optional variables that may be passed to "OCamlMakefile"
+
+  * LIB_PACK_NAME - packs all modules of a library into a module whose
+                    name is given in variable "LIB_PACK_NAME".
+
+  * RES_CLIB_SUF  - when building a library that contains C-stubs, this
+                    variable controls the suffix appended to the name
+                    of the C-library (default: "_stubs").
+
+  * THREADS       - say "THREADS = yes" if you need thread support compiled in,
+                    otherwise leave it away.
+
+  * VMTHREADS     - say "VMTHREADS = yes" if you want to force VM-level
+                    scheduling of threads (byte-code only).
+
+  * ANNOTATE      - say "ANNOTATE = yes" to generate type annotation files
+                    (.annot) to support displaying of type information
+                    in editors.
+
+  * USE_CAMLP4    - say "USE_CAMLP4 = yes" in your "Makefile" if you
+                    want to include the camlp4 directory during the
+                    build process, otherwise leave it away.
+
+  * INCDIRS       - directories that should be searched for ".cmi"- and
+                    ".cmo"-files.  You need not write "-I ..." - just the
+                    plain names.
+  * LIBDIRS       - directories that should be searched for libraries
+                    Also just put the plain paths into this variable
+  * EXTLIBDIRS    - Same as "LIBDIRS", but paths in this variable are
+                    also added to the binary via the "-R"-flag so that
+                    dynamic libraries in non-standard places can be found.
+  * RESULTDEPS    - Targets on which results (executables or libraries)
+                    should additionally depend.
+
+  * PACKS         - adds packages under control of "findlib".
+
+  * PREDS         - specifies "findlib"-predicates.
+
+  * LIBS          - OCaml-libraries that should be linked (just plain names).
+                    E.g. if you want to link the Str-library, just write
+                    "str" (without quotes).
+                    The new OCaml-compiler handles libraries in such
+                    a way that they "remember" whether they have to
+                    be linked against a C-library and it gets linked
+                    in automatically.
+                    If there is a slash in the library name (such as
+                    "./str" or "lib/foo") then make is told that the
+                    generated files depend on the library.  This
+                    helps to ensure that changes to your libraries are
+                    taken into account, which is important if you are
+                    regenerating your libraries frequently.
+  * CLIBS         - C-libraries that should be linked (just plain names).
+
+  * PRE_TARGETS   - set this to a list of target files that you want
+                    to have buildt before dependency calculation actually
+                    takes place. E.g. use this to automatically compile
+                    modules needed by camlp4, which have to be available
+                    before other modules can be parsed at all.
+
+                    ** WARNING **: the files mentioned in this variable
+                    will be removed when "make clean" is executed!
+
+  * LIBINSTALL_FILES - the files of a library that should be installed
+                       using "findlib". Default:
+
+                         $(RESULT).mli $(RESULT).cmi $(RESULT).cma
+                         $(RESULT).cmxa $(RESULT).a lib$(RESULT).a
+
+  * OCAML_LIB_INSTALL - target directory for "rawinstall/rawuninstall".
+                        (default: $(OCAMLLIBPATH)/contrib)
+
+  * DOC_FILES     - names of files from which documentation is generated.
+                    (default: all .mli-files in your $(SOURCES)).

+
+  * OCAMLDOCFLAGS - flags passed to "ocamldoc"
+
+  * OCAMLFIND_INSTFLAGS - flags passed to "ocamlfind" during installation
+                          (default: none)
+
+  * DVIPSFLAGS    - flags passed to dvips
+                    (when generating documentation in PostScript).
+
+  * STATIC        - set this variable if you want to force creation
+                    of static libraries
+
+  * CC            - the C-compiler to be used
+  * CXX           - the C++-compiler to be used
+
+  * CFLAGS        - additional flags passed to the C-compiler.
+                    The flag "-DNATIVE_CODE" will be passed automatically
+                    if you choose to build native code. This allows you
+                    to compile your C-files conditionally. But please
+                    note: You should do a "make clean" or remove the
+                    object files manually or touch the %.c-files:
+                    otherwise, they may not be correctly recompiled
+                    between different builds.
+
+  * CXXFLAGS      - additional flags passed to the C++-compiler.
+
+  * CPPFLAGS      - additional flags passed to the C-preprocessor.

+                    exotic platforms.  (default: "-R").
+
+  * ELF_RPATH_FLAG - this flag is used to set the rpath on ELF-platforms.
+                     (default: "-R")
+
+  * ELF_RPATH     - if this flag is "yes", then the RPATH_FLAG will be
+                    passed by "-Wl" to the linker as normal on
+                    ELF-platforms.
+
+  * OCAMLLIBPATH  - path to the OCaml-standard-libraries
+                    (first default: `$(OCAMLC) -where`)
+                    (second default: "/usr/local/lib/ocaml")
+
+  * OCAML_DEFAULT_DIRS - additional path in which the user can supply
+                         default directories to his own collection of
+                         libraries.  The idea is to pass this as an environment
+                         variable so that the Makefiles do not have to contain
+                         this path all the time.
+
+  * OCAMLFIND     - ocamlfind from findlib       (default: "ocamlfind")

+  * OCAMLCP       - profiling byte-code compiler (default: "ocamlcp")
+  * OCAMLDEP      - dependency generator         (default: "ocamldep")
+  * OCAMLLEX      - scanner generator            (default: "ocamllex")

+
+  * OXRIDL        - OXRIDL-generator  (default: "oxridl")
+
+  * NOIDLHEADER   - set to "yes" to prohibit "OCamlMakefile" from using
+                    the default camlidl-flag "-header".
+
+  * NO_CUSTOM     - Prevent linking in custom mode.
+
+  * QUIET         - unsetting this variable (e.g. "make QUIET=")
+                    will print all executed commands, including
+                    intermediate ones. This allows more comfortable
+                    debugging when things go wrong during a build.
+
+  * REALLY_QUIET  - when set this flag turns off output from some commands.
+
+  * OCAMLMAKEFILE - location of (=path to) this "OCamlMakefile".
+                    Because it calles itself recursively, it has to
+                    know where it is. (default: "OCamlMakefile" =
+                    local directory)
+
+  * BCSUFFIX      - Suffix for all byte-code files. E.g.:
+
+                      RESULT   = foo
+                      BCSUFFIX = _bc
+
+                    This will produce byte-code executables/libraries
+                    with basename "foo_bc".
+
+  * NCSUFFIX      - Similar to "BCSUFFIX", but for native-code files.
+  * TOPSUFFIX     - Suffix added to toplevel interpreters (default: ".top")
+
+  * SUBPROJS      - variable containing the names of subprojects to be
+                    compiled.
+
+  * SUBTARGET     - target to be built for all projects in variable
+                    SUBPROJS.
