Here is an adaptation of your script to handle both windows and unix environement.
The idea is to replace call to fork with create_process.

I mainly define a Win32Exe module, defining both functions
execvp_to_list and execvp_redirect.
The win32 users should simply open the module.
Some variable were also redefined to support both cases (path separator, ...).

I also had some exceptions when the call to Unix.single_write was called, so I replaced it to Unix.write in the win32 case.

The rest is kept unchanged.

I am adding the modified checkocaml.ml -> checkocaml_win.ml along with the
Diff file: diff -w checkocaml_win.ml checkocaml.ml > conf_script.diff

Please feel free to contact me if you need more precisions.

Sincerely,
Rabih Chaar

Indeed. I have no Microsoft Windows.

Not from me, but I can integrate another contributed configuration script.
