I don't understand the rationale behind only warning about missing
ocaml compilers on Linux.

Either there is nothing wrong with not having ocaml and using all the
C tools (specifically, C xenstore), in which case it arguably
shouldn't produce a warning; or the future is supposedly ocaml and
then we should warn everywhere.

Of course the latter situation would imply that ocaml can in practice
be found on non-Linux dom0's without too much pain.  Is that true ?

Ian.
