Hi Mike,

FYI, on my gentoo machine - sks 1.1.2 failed due to  failed build for
 dependency cryptokit;
 ESC[31;01m*ESC[0m The ebuild environment file is located at
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-ml/cryptokit-1.4/temp/environment'.
 ESC[31;01m*ESC[0m S:
'/var/tmp/portage/dev-ml/cryptokit-1.4/work/cryptokit-1.4'
(END)
File "/home/gildor/programmation/oasis/src/oasis/OASISMessage.ml",
line 30, characters 8-23:
Unbound value Printf.kfprintf
 ESC[31;01m*ESC[0m ERROR: dev-ml/cryptokit-1.4 failed (configure phase):

 ESC[31;01m*ESC[0m The specific snippet of code:
