[bug#46329] [PATCH] Add z3 OCaml bindings

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hello!

It’d be ideal if these could be built separately.  Like, we’d build z3,
and the ocaml-z3 package would depend on z3 (but use the same source
tarball as z3).

Does that seem feasible?

I guess it depends on which one is the most widespread convention.

I think a separate package as outline above would be slightly nicer, but
otherwise this patch LGTM.

Thanks,   :-)
