The configure program for OCaml has been using a new set of command-line
arguments from version 4.08. This is a small refactoring to ease dealing with
the two sets.
This puts MetaOCaml on more equal footing with the normal OCaml
packages, which have a few passthru's and expect to have more 'meta'
information available (such as 'platforms').
With these changes, you can use the ber_metaocaml package along with
ocaml-ng.mkOcamlPackages in order to create a full package set with
Native MetaOCaml support, though this currently isn't implemented (you
have to do this yourself).
There are also other light cleanups, for example this also removes the
old MIPS support and restricts the platforms to x86 Linux/Darwin, for
now. Other platforms can be added on a case-by-case basis.

Following legacy packing conventions, `isArm` was defined just for
32-bit ARM instruction set. This is confusing to non packagers though,
because Aarch64 is an ARM instruction set.
The official ARM overview for ARMv8[1] is surprisingly not confusing,
given the overall state of affairs for ARM naming conventions, and
offers us a solution. It divides the nomenclature into three levels:
```
ISA: ARMv8 {-A, -R, -M}
/ \
Mode: Aarch32 Aarch64
| / \
Encoding: A64 A32 T32
```
At the top is the overall v8 instruction set archicture. Second are the
two modes, defined by bitwidth but differing in other semantics too, and
buttom are the encodings, (hopefully?) isomorphic if they encode the
same mode.
The 32 bit encodings are mostly backwards compatible with previous
non-Thumb and Thumb encodings, and if so we can pun the mode names to
instead mean "sets of compatable or isomorphic encodings", and then
voilà we have nice names for 32-bit and 64-bit arm instruction sets
which do not use the word ARM so as to not confused either laymen or
experienced ARM packages.
