    Summary: Semantic patching for C source code (spatch)
    Description: 
    Coccinelle (French for "ladybug") is a utility for matching and transforming
    the source code of programs written in the C programming language.
    
    The source code to be matched or replaced is specified using
    a "semantic patch" syntax based on the patch syntax.
    The Semantic Patch Language (SmPL) pattern resembles a unified diff
    with C-like declarations.
    
    Coccinelle was initially used to aid the evolution of the Linux kernel
    (and ease the maintenance of device drivers), providing support for
    changes to APIs such as renaming a function, adding a function
    argument whose value is somehow context-dependent, and reorganizing a
    data structure.
    
    It can also be used to find bad programming patterns in code (i.e.,
    pieces of code that are erroneous with high probability such as
    possible NULL pointer dereference) without transforming them.
    (Then coccinelle's role is close to that of static analysis tools.)

    - Adapted BuildReqs for any OCaml (whether with "num" or without in the core),
      so that it can be built in Sisyphus/p9 and p8.
    - For testing, made a checkinstall subpkg and added more tests
      (with embedded Python scripts).
    - Worked-around the problem with the loading of libpython (to enable
      the built-in Python interpreter).
