Re: lwt-json-logger and crunch releases

[Anil Madhavapeddy <anil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You're like a human Jenkins!  The OPAM file for the dev repo wasn't synched with
the release repo.  I just did that, and it should install into the right prefix
now...

Btw, I'm going with the convention of just calling the dev repo packages (which 
have git:// URLs and are refreshed on every opam update) as 1.0.0, and the main
opam-repository with tarballs will have lower release versions (0.9.2 for cohttp
at present).

This means we don't have to keep updating the dev package on every release, as
OPAM sometimes gets unhappy and full of Not_founds when a package directory
disappears...
