Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Didn't even know this existed. I'm always trying to merge PDFs

Looking at the documentation at https://github.com/johnwhitington/cpdf-source, we are going to require camlpdf and ocamlfind, OR by using the OPAM package manager. Note we already have ocaml packaged. Relevant text from readme:

Prerequisites to build

The OCaml compiler

http://ocaml.org

The camlpdf library

http://github.com/johnwhitington/camlpdf

The ocamlfind library manager

http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html

If you are using the OPAM package manager:

http://opam.ocamlpro.com

these can be installed by:

opam install camlpdf

This has sat in accepted for inclusion for over a year. Clearly, there is a lack of demand for the inclusion of this software, nobody has stepped up to provide a patch, maintain it, and properly integrate it. Closing as a result. Feel free to reopen but only when someone offers a patch via our proper patch submission methods and volunteers to be maintainer.
