It doesn't address multilib. For example, the -devel packages should
require ocaml of the _same_ architecture, not just "ocaml".

In particular, the example that "ocaml-pcre-devel needs an explicit
'Requires: pcre-devel'" is wrong, because an i386 pcre-devel package
would satisfy that, while not being particularly useful for an x86_64
ocaml-pcre-devel.

Because of bug #235755 you may need to use virtual provides or
file-based dependencies to express the dependencies correctly.
Unless we put 235755 on the F9Blocker... :)
