You probably want all the ocaml tools to be built as universal binaries and you probably also want the ocamlopt compiler to be able to produce universal binaries. I would expect that will require some effort from the Caml Team at INRIA. I wouldn't get impatient just yet. Even inside Apple, most of the software engineers don't have Intel development machines. The first Intel CPU Macintosh products won't be on the market until sometime around Q2 next year, and even then, the PowerPC machines will probably still be the high throughput hotness machines. There's plenny time to spare. -- j h woodyatt that's my village calling... no doubt, they want their idiot back.
