Thanks for your clarification.

I would prefer to map the file name for the OCaml interface compiler also to a
CMake cache variable.

I would prefer to map the file name for the OCaml archive generator also to
another CMake cache variable.

How do you think about to distinguish this program from other linking tools?

The software component "flexlink" (from "ocamlopt") depends on these tools.

How do you think about the addition of commands like "add_OCaml_executable" and
"add_OCaml_library"?
Do the additions from your CMake module work together with the command
"install(TARGETS ...)"?
