# - a ROOTDIR variable pointing to the repository root
#   relative to the including Makefile

# It exports definitions of BEST_OCAML{C,OPT,LEX,DEP} commands that
# run to either the bytecode binary built in the repository or the
# native binary, if available. Note that they never use the boot/
# versions: we assume that ocamlc, ocamlopt, etc. have been run first.

# Set this to empty to force use of the bytecode compilers at all times
