Description:

The findlib library provides a scheme to manage reusable software
components (packages), and includes tools that support this scheme.
Packages are collections of OCaml modules for which metainformation can
be stored. The packages are kept in the filesystem hierarchy, but with
strict directory structure. The library contains functions to look the
directory up that stores a package, to query metainformation about a
package, and to retrieve dependency information about multiple packages.
There is also a tool that allows the user to enter queries on the
command-line. In order to simplify compilation and linkage, there are
new frontends of the various OCaml compilers that can directly deal with
packages.
