Not yet, the last step of the migration is to rebuild the top
Makefile... With including the creation of the build dir...

Actually the list of compiling part is
options,okey,configwin,gpattern,ioxml, ocamlcvs, zoggy, mlchat. 

There is still report, toolhtml, dbforge, cameleon, omom, plugin and
sqml to build...

In term of number i am half the way, in term of time, i think i am at
the first quarter.
