It looks like ocamlbuild plugins do not work anymore... maybe because
`ocamlbuild -where` now points to the same location as `ocamlc -where`.

I guess I'll just note the problems we encounter as follow-ups
to this thread, so they're easy to find.
The first problem is with camlp5:
$ ./configure
Sorry: the compatibility with ocaml version "3.11.1+rc0"
is not yet implemented. Please report.
Configuration failed.

ocaml ulex 1.1 fails with:
ocamlbuild -byte-plugin pa_ulex.cma ulexing.cma
Failure: Cannot find "ocamlbuildlib.cma" in ocamlbuild -where directory.

I backported this to Fedora, and it fixes the ulex & lwt build
problems.

I've merged changes from 3.11.1+rc0, and tagged it 3.11.1.0rc0 on ocamlcore:
http://git.ocamlcore.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=ocamlduce/ocamlduce.git
I won't make a release (with tarball) before the final 3.11.1, but you
can still try it if you want (have a look at README.ocamlduce first to
know how to deal with git checkouts).
Cheers,
