It would have been good to point out somewhere that the changes to
Rules.mk don't just affect the commands given to the ocaml compiler
but to all users of libxc, libxl etc.

And I'm afraid, viewing the changes in that light, this amounts to
reverting b7ee8d2f432f726a1154d172016d3f2b22757fe3 "tools build: link
to specific library version (libxs, libxl, xenstore, xenstat)".
(CCing Roger, author of that commit.)

So I'm afraid this patch is not acceptable in this form.

Is there no way to get the ocaml compiler to link against a specified
library file without embedding the path into the executable ?

Ian.
