Perhaps; on the other hand I believe that a GCCJIT approach might 
produce better code (e.g. because of
GCC complex register allocation & instruction scheduling abilities).

Maybe before doing a direct port, writing & publishing some wikipage 
about what you are understanding of ocamlopt would be worthwhile.

IIRC there have been such efforts in the past, but such information is 
stalling quickly. So any grey documentation about Ocaml is welcome.


Regards.
