In the expression s/@OCamlStdlibDir@/$(OCAML_STDLIB_DIR)/g if you don't remove slashes, you get (after replacing OCAML_STDLIB_DIR), s/@OCamlStdlibDir@//usr/lib/ocaml/3.09.2//g which is not a good replacement. Using my subst, you get s/@OCamlStdlibDir@/\/usr\/lib\/ocaml\/3.09.2\//g which is better... and the \/ will become / in the target file. I don't think there is anything context dependent regarding this... FYI, you could also use s,@OCamlStdlibDir@,$(OCAML_STDLIB_DIR),g i think (but if the name contains a "," you will have the same problem). But in fact, the 100% portable way to do that is to copy the AC_OUTPUT macro of autoconf, but i am a bit lazy for now.
