[Nix-dev] patch for ocaml

[roconnor at theorem.ca]

Here is a patch for ocaml that makes an include directory and symlinks 
ocaml's C header files into that directory.  By having an include 
directory it is automatically propogated as to NIX_CFLAGS_COMPILE for 
anyone who uses ocaml as a build input.

Question, should this patch be applied to the other derivations of ocaml 
found in this directory?
