No, I don't think so.??lablgtk2?goes?entirely?into?/usr/lib/ocaml/lablgtk2
and /usr/lib/ocaml/stublibs, plus one file /usr/bin/lablgtk2.

I'm not sure what you mean.  The user will have to install ocaml first in 
order to build from source.  Is anything more required?

OK, thanks.??I?couldn't?find?this.

OK.??I?may?fool?around?with?it?to?see?how?many?errors?I?get?if?I?strip?the
exe and remove '-w s', but I'm inclined to leave it alone.

OK.??No?obvious?problem?there?for?my?package,?since?I'm?not?building?the
