Excellent job, Andreas! Huge Success! There finally is a binary OCaml distribution that _just works_, a tool of great practical importance for the rest of us, the forgotten souls, who have to deal with Windows.

atd    -- works!
atdgen -- works!
biniou -- works!
yojson -- works!
cppo   -- works!
zip    -- works!

New package requests: ocamlgraph and pa_monad. If you added these packages to the WODI database, then I would gladly test them on my projects.

On this note, I realize that I have not announced to this list that 
camlzip has released version 1.05 with findlib support (and an official 
findlib package name).  There are no changes to the library code, just 
an extra line in the makefile for installing with findlib and a simple 
META file.

I've replaced the host now.

Ok,
I've added (totally untested) packages for sdl and ocamlsdl (the
build scripts of ocamlSDL indeed didn't work on windows/mingw). But
perhaps you need additional features (opengl support,mixer,...).

Fine :)

godi-zip is indeed broken. I've updated godi-zip to version 1.05 and
hopefully fixed it.

Martin Jambon has already created (godi-) build instructions for all
these libraries, however they were not updated to the newest version
and so didn't compile.
I have now updated them. If Martin Jambon didn't change his makefiles
in a fundamental way, the new packages should work.
