Rather than pushing it to one of the standard libraries, I would have a preference for creating a small ocaml-ctypes based binding and creating a standalone OPAM package instead.

The (various) standard libraries can then take the implementation if they choose to, or users can just pull it into their project with all the other dependencies.
