I'm no OCaml expert but I'd like to know how you decided to build
your OCaml project then?
using ocamlbuild? custom makefiles ?

May be you can give us here a the "main" 3 or so reasons
you think CMake cannot handle OCaml project building.

It may be useful for other not to go through the same path
you did.
