I'm not an expert yet regarding the different build systems, but the
current package essentially relies on a ~make~ and ~make install~
process, and is not linked with oasis or dune things (and using
ocaml-build-system failed as well, but perhaps I should investigate
more).

I hope the new one is clearer...
