Hello,

I am adding and upgrading some ocaml libraries (for instance lablGL).
I have something working, but I am not satisfied.

lablGL requires mesa (for GL/gl.h and -lGL), but any package that require lablGL needs 
to also have mesa in its buildInputs.

I thought that propagatedBuildInputs whre done for that, but I do not see this in the nix manual
and anyway it does not seem to work this way.

So what is exactly the difference between buildInput and propagatedBuildInputs ?

And to achieve what I want, how should I do ?

Cheers,
Christophe
