This is very interesting. I've compiled it and begun learning the language,
but there seems to be a problem with type inferencing in the 'load_xml'
function. Given the following XML:

-- abc.xml -------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<abc>
  <a>aaaa</a>
  <b>bbbb</b>
  <c>cccc</c>
</abc>
------------------------------------------------------------- abc.xml --

My CDuce session looks like this:

        CDuce version 0.1.0

# type ABC = <abc> [ A B C ]
> type A = <a> [ PCDATA ]
> type B = <b> [ PCDATA ]
> type C = <c> [ PCDATA ];;
# let abc : ABC = load_xml "abc.xml";;
Error at chars 16-34:
This expression should have type:
ABC
but its inferred type is:
Any
which is not a subtype, as shown by the sample:
Int


Have I done something wrong, or is this indeed a bug?


P.S.: Is there any particular reason your makefile doesn't have an
  ordinary 'install' target, so that people can easily install the 
  tools for command-line use?
