The base ocaml package contains a couple of scripts which are then
used by all the OCaml packages.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/OCaml#Requires_and_provides

The aim is to get these two scripts into upstream RPM eventually,
where "eventually" is defined as when we get an upstream OCaml bug
that affects these scripts fixed.
