I wondered if I hadn't.. I'll file a bug report

I hadn't considered that actually.. but, the more I thought about it,
it's only used during the compile, so I'm not sure it matters one way or
the other.. but, if I were to install the oci.vapi file into the system
vapi directory, I'm guessing one file would be preferred and that can be
easilly handled through the makefiles.
