This concludes phase one.  We've accumulated way too much of technical
debt here to warrant splitting the update to the latest version (4.08.0)
to a separate commit once the dusts settles, which wouldn't take long,
I hope.  You can use this time to ensure that your code is ready for
immutable strings which are used by default on 4.06.0 and above, and/or
help to update various OCaml ports and "batteries" that were previously
blocked due to `lang/ocaml' port being too old.
