I was meaning OCamlDBI = dbi.ml + .mli , so I there is two ways of working :
1) for each OcamlDBI release, copy dbi.ml + .mli from OcamlDBI CVS to ExtLib
CVS
2) maintain dbi.ml + dbi.mli directly into ExtLib CVS (but then the users
need to install ExtLib in order to get the last version of OcamlDBI, not
sure that's what you want :).
Of course, no driver will be added to ExtLib CVS (since they require C).
