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 meta-information can
be stored. The packages are kept in the file-system hierarchy, but with
strict directory structure. The library contains functions to look the
directory up that stores a package, to query meta-information 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 front-ends of the various OCaml compilers that can directly deal with
packages.
