This pull request removes the bundled deriving library, introducing a dependency on the version maintained by the Ocsigen project instead. The main drawback is the extra dependency; the main benefit is that a few thousand lines of code disappear.

The easiest way to install the external deriving is via OPAM. The process goes something like this:

  1. Install OPAM (see e.g. these instructions)

  2. Install a recent OCaml compiler:

    $ opam switch install 4.01.0
    $ eval `opam config env`
  3. Install the deriving package:

    $ opam install deriving
  4. Build Links:

    make
