Hi,
If I'm using an OS/FS that supports sparse files (apparently linux does
this without any magic flags or anything), will reading/writing to this
file work as expected in OCaml? I guess I'll have to use Unix module
anyway just to get a read/write file in the first place...

For *nix, the Unix module is just wrappers around the operating system
calls, so just do what you would normally do in (eg) C. Later
versions of Windows / NTFS support sparse files, but I've no idea what
you need to do to support sparse files under that OS.
