A bunch of other stuff changed in the ocaml stuff between 4.1 and the
current unstable version (e.g. we now autogenerate the xl bindings,
which is where xl.mli.in comes from), it's stuff which I don't think is
suitable for backport either upstream or to these packages.

I suspect that when Jon says "import" he actually means "apply the moral
equivalent of".
