Don't lock the OCaml compiler

The OCaml compiler should probably be excluded from the locked set.
It might also be useful to take a list of packages not to lock.

Personally, I find this necessary. The package-versions I have installed are specific to the OCaml point-release; changing the OCaml version would invalidate constraints on many of the packages defined in the lockfile. That is, a given lockfile is only meaningful for a particular point-release and variant of the OCaml compiler, in the same way that the lockfile is only meaningful when taken as a whole w.r.t. any other package currently included in it.
