Dear all,

Now that Camlp4 is no longer distributed along with OCaml, compiling
Lablgtk with OCaml's trunk has become problematic. As far as I can see,
Lablgtk uses Camlp4 for 2 reasons :
(1) 'IFDEF HAS_PRINTEXC_BACKTRACE THEN' in gtkSignal.ml4
(2) Concrete syntax [< ... >] for streams in 3 other .ml4 files

For (1), this could (and probably should) be replaced by a call to sed.
For (2), the .ml files could be packaged with the source distribution of
Lablgtk, and optionally regenerated by a special Makefile rule.

Would those changes be acceptable to you ? They would make life much easier
for us.
