Upcoming:

 - fix: also install the file wasicaml.h
 - fix: find wasicaml-installed commands by PATH

Release 1.1 (2023-03-27):

 - bases on OCaml-4.12.1 and WASI-SDK 19
 - support for using the tail call extension of WebAssembly
   (-enable-tail-call), PR#36.
 - support for using the exception handing extension of WebAssembly
   (-enable-exception-handling)
 - reworked the way exceptions are propagated. If the exception is
   raised in OCaml code, it is passed up by returning the special
   value 0 to the caller (which has to check for it). If the
   exception is raised in C code, it is using the special
   "wasicaml_try" / "wasicaml_throw" host functions that are expected
   to be available (unless you -enable-exception-handling, in which
   case native WebAssembly exceptions are used in this case).
   The upside of this change is a simplified code generation.
   The downside is that the backtraces contain less information.
   (PR#40)
 - more local variables: it is now tried to keep the top N
   values of the stack in local variables. This gives the
   JIT engine more opportunities to optimize the binary code.
   However, more save/restore code is now also required,
   so the code is less compact. For this reason, a new
   -compact-code command-line option was added. (PR#39)
 - switching to `wasi-js` as the npm package to implement
   WASI in nodejs.


Release 1.0:
