It seems like no one has any strong opinions about this (or else I'm
not getting list traffic ...)

Another good reason to remove Dbi from extlib is that in 3.08.2 it's
actually impossible to link a program natively with both extlib and
ocamldbi, even if the signatures & MD5 hashes of the duplicated Dbi
modules match.  You get this error:

Files /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/dbi/dbi.cmxa
and /usr/lib/ocaml/3.08/extlib/extLib.cmxa both define a module named Dbi
