Well, perhaps in a perfect world. :-) But this is an open source
project, so it's at the mercy of people's spare time.

With that in mind, I don't have ocaml or ocamldoc on my system, and I
compile and install just fine. It never tries to build the OCaml
bindings. Of course, I'm not on Cygwin. Are you using CMake or the
Makefiles?
