I think I scared him away with the details. :-)

Agreed. In the meantime, there are packages in Ports, which also
support stublibs and natdynlink modules:
http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/devel/flexdll/
http://cygwin-ports.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/cygwin-ports/ports/trunk/lang/ocaml/
(There's an interdependency between these two, so you'll want the binary
packages first, then build flexdll followed by ocaml.)
The binary ocaml-labltk package in Ports uses my *NIX/X11 Tcl/Tk, so it
can't go straight into the distro as-is, unless we finally make that
change as well.
