Indeed, I didn't look at maintainership before I sent that email.

You are correct that OCaml doesn't build OOTB.  I have a working build, 
but there is an issue with the method they use to create stublibs and 
.cmxs native link modules.  I'll try to raise an RFC on those issues 
when I have a chance.
