Restore ocamlbuild plugin? about ppxlib

Why not simply distribute the plugin as a separate package?

I wasn't sure whether that would work correctly, but it looks pretty standalone, so I think that might work. Let me give it a shot.

Ah, this was where I figured there might be a problem:

arch-vm[1171]:~/prog/src/ocaml/ppxlib-ocamlbuild% make
jbuilder build --dev --auto-promote @cinaps @install
File "ocamlbuild_plugin/jbuild", line 3, characters 2-33:
Error: The current scope doesn't define package "ppxlib".
The only packages for which you can declare elements to be installed in this directory are:
- ppxlib-ocamlbuild (because of ppxlib-ocamlbuild.opam)
make: *** [Makefile:5: default] Error 1

Using this jbuild:

(library
 (  (name ppxlib_ocamlbuild)
  (public_name ppxlib.ocamlbuild)
  (libraries (ocamlbuild))
  (flags (:standard -I +ocamlbuild))
  (preprocess no_preprocessing)))

(jbuild_version 1)

Is there a workaround? It's not a big deal if we have to change our oasis file to use blah.ocamlbuild instead of ppxlib.ocamlbuild, though.

I've done the latter. Sorry for the noise!
