Hello Dear List.

mk-index is a very simple command, that you can call from the command-line of a terminal.

It just generate an index in .html format of the contents of the current directory.

It does not add a copyright at the end of the generated content.

This is probably something that every ocaml-beginner can do in a couple of hours.

So this is probably not the main tool that you will search in the ocaml-ecosystem.

Professional people probably don’t need this kind of tools.

So the inclusion in opam would probably just be a distraction for them.

This is why I thought that it would probably be better not to include it in it.
