In addition of all the other good answers, you could look at how some existing C++ open-source libraries interface to Ocaml.

Both the Parma Polyhedra Library (PPL, under GPLv3 licence), at http://www.cs.unipr.it/ppl/ and the Low Level Virtual 
Machine library (LLVM, under a BSD-like licence) at http://llvm.org/ are free libraries, coded in C++, interfaced to Ocaml.
