Well, API changes wouldn't affect me personally, but I'm sure they would
be painful for people who are actually using that API. If I were in your
position I would try to find out about the user base before assuming
that the changes will upset the whole world. After all:
* LablGTK2 is fairly new
* OCaml hasn't quite hit the big time yet
* Not everybody uses OpenGL
* On Linux at least (which I believe is the most popular platform for
OCaml), OpenGL support is not very mature, so that programs
depending on it often fail to compile.
So it could well be that few if any developers have yet seriously used
LablGTK2 with OpenGL.
