Hi,
I sent the following text last week but, I don't know why, it got lost...
Well, I played a little bit with tuareg, to try to adapt it to JoCaml.
The keywords are well colored (well, I think they are), but the
indentation is not finished (well, let's say it : it's wrong).
You can get what I have done if ever you are interested :
http://philippewang.info/cs/misc/juareg-mode-1.46.2.tar.gz
(there is in particular a bug : a function call finds nil... why why why
is dynamic typing so mean with me...)
Well, I've spent only a few minutes on it, plus a few hours trying to
catch bugs, most of which I haven't caught.
I have no idea if someone else is working on it, I just wanted to "play"
with elisp...
But I don't have time to continue right now, that's the reason why I
give you the sources.
Cheers,

PS :
if ever you want to compare tuareg sources with juareg sources, I
suggest you apply :
for i in * ; sed -i -e 's/juareg/tuareg/g' -e 's/jocaml/ocaml/g' $i ; done
on the sources first.
The advantage in naming it juareg instead of tuareg is that it can be
used without interfering with tuareg.
