Thank you very much!

Right now we facing a much more troubles with compilation. F.e. 
type-conv now is type_conv, something strange happens with 
rpclight->ocaml-rpc->rpc library and so on.
If someone show way to take generic distro, some repos all around the 
world and make xapi rpm it whould be really gracious. Because I already 
spend about four days fighting with ocaml, opam and libraries to get 
stuff done... I still no success. I already plan set of features to 
implement in XCP (for example, allow masks in ipv4_allowed/ipv6_allowed 
fields), but really ashamed I can't say our software engineers how to 
compile existing code.
