Flxcc is already processing template free C++ (not correctly though). Sure it targets Felix at the moment but I don't see any real issue targetting Ocaml. To a large extent C++ is just syntactic sugar for C, so what's the big deal? Exceptions are just about the only really nasty feature, and wrappers can fix that easily if you're willing to be a bit bloody minded about them.
