I don't know all the tricky details but my understanding is that
it would be difficult. Notably because these META files seem dependent
on the compiler options (x11/no x11, tk/no tk, threads support,
whatever...).
Note that this port is a small one. On my goold old PII 233Mhz,
47 seconds is needed to install it. And, as findlib is used when
you want to compile an ocaml project, you will certainly have to
install the compiler.

All ports ? Really ? I didn't know that, i thought that it would
only affect ocaml-findlib. Well, i will try to contact the author
of findlid to look for a better solution (if there is one). Otherwise,
i think it's unfortunately the safer workaround.

Stephane.
