Log Message:
Note update of lang/ocaml to 3.06, using patch supplied by Martin Weber
(ephaeton at gmx dot net) in PR pkg/18023.

Changes from 3.04 to 3.05 (abbreviated list, full list available at
http://caml.inria.fr/archives/200207/msg00558.html):
 Language features:
        - Support for polymorphic methods and record fields.
        - Allows _ separators in integer and float literals, e.g. 1_000_000.
 Type-checker:
        - Fixed subtle typing bug with higher-order functors.
        - Fixed several complexity problems;
        - Fixed various bugs with objects and polymorphic variants.
 Bytecode compiler:
        - Fixed issue with ocamlc.opt and dynamic linking.
 Native-code compiler:
        - Fixed GC bug related to constant constructors of polymorphic variant 
types.
        - Fixed compilation bug for top-level "include" statements.
 Toplevel interactive system:
        - ocamlmktop: minimized possibility of name clashes with user-provided 
modules.
 Run-time system:
        - Better support for lazy data in the garbage collector.
        - Support for float formats that are neither big-endian nor 
little-endian
        - Fixed bug in callback*_exn functions in the exception-catching case.
 Standard library:
        - Protect against integer overflow in sub-string and sub-array bound 
checks.
        - New module Complex implementing arithmetic over complex numbers.
        - New module Scanf implementing format-based scanning a la scanf() in C.
        - various fixes and enhancements to existing modules
 Tools:
        - ocamldoc part of distribution
        - Debugger: now supports the option -I +dir.
        - ocamllex: supports the same identifiers as ocamlc;

Changes from 3.05 to 3.06:
 Type-checking:
 - Apply value restriction to polymorphic record fields.
Run-time system:
 - Fixed GC bug affecting lazy values.
Both compilers:
 - Added option "-version" to print just the version number.
 - Fixed wrong dependencies in .cmi generated with the -pack option.
Native-code compiler:
 - Fixed wrong return value for inline bigarray assignments.
Libraries:
 - Unix.getsockopt: make sure result is a valid boolean.
Tools:
 - ocamlbrowser: improved error reporting;
