Well, the main problem here, apart from labltk naturally, is the graphics
module. I can split it away, but since it is part of the main ocaml
distribution, most people will expect it to be there.
Maybe a ocmal-x or something such package will do it ?
That said, we would then need 1 or more ocaml task package, which will install
all of it, or even have a ocaml-complete (or even the plain ocaml) package
which will wrap all of it ...
