I'm doing my first big binding of a C library in Ocaml and I'm wondering
what some of the best practices are.  In my case, it's an I/O library
I'm binding and I'm interested in minimizing the overhead because a lot
of data will be shipped back and forth.  Right now I'm doing a pretty
straight forward wrapping with Ctypes.  Should I be looking into using
Bigstrings?  Anything else?

Thanks,
/Malcolm
