Why does it take "the right approach"? What criteria do you used for  
this statement?

Hmhh, wouldn't it be better to have something that is independent
of OCaml itself (orthogonal, and possibly also working for other languages)?

For my projects OCamlMakefile has turned out to be very useful.
Just some lines with settings in the Makefile, including OCamlMakefile,
and it's working.
For any project that is not trivial but also not too complex,
this seems to be the easiest, most convenient way to me.
