base and dune.configurator are incompatible

[rgrinberg]

Since both offer a toplevel Caml module. Implementing #1017 should fix this issue I believe if we are sick of renaming stuff.

This is affecting real users as shown here: https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/from-jbuilder-to-dune-with-a-ctypes-project/2371/3

#1017 would only cause caml.cmi to not be installed, right? I don't believe that's enough as for the linking step all compilation unit names must be unique.

Ah yeah, I agree that wouldn't be enough. Automatic name mangling for the private libs, and corresponding -open for the users of these libs would solve this issue however.

I believe diml already fixed this.
