Which build tool to use?

Hello,

I'm dipping my toes into the OCaml waters again.  I'm working on a
project implemented in C/C++, it's lacking tests in many areas, some of
which require having a server process running. I thought I'd start with
using OCaml to implement a mock server so I can test the client libs.

The C/C++ project uses CMake to build and now I'd like to plug my OCaml
build into it, but what to use?

So far I've simply run `corebuild` (a simple wrapper around
`ocamlbuild`), but that leaves some build stuff in the source folder
(that sort of breaks with CMake's tradition of building out-of-source).

I've found at least two OCaml build tools, `omake` and `oasis` (besides
`ocamlbuild`).  Is anyone preferred over the other for new projects?

/M

For every problem there is a solution which is clear, simple, and
wrong.
