It doesn't seem to install an ocamlfind package. This makes developing against a pin of the HEAD of this repository for opam-lib difficult. opam-lib users must change the pinned opam file to perform ocamlfind installation. Also, the switch restriction is annoying.

Also, install opam-lib when pinned. Fix ocaml#1547.

Ah, indeed. This might become an issue for any repo that may be used to build several packages... not sure how best to fix it. Actually .install files (inconsistenlty) support it by being named <package>.install.

I could pin opam-lib to the directory containing the OPAM sources... but installing in this way does not agree with the test suite...
