Is there a straightforward way (under Unix) of executing
arbitrary system commands from inside CAML Light?
For example:
system "ls -al | sort +3 >/tmp/.listing"

The unix__system function does just that. The "unix" library is in
contrib/libunix in the distribution. Once installed, it can be linked
with a standalone application as follows:
camlc -custom -o <applname> unix.zo <appl .zo files> -lunix
For interactive use of the functions provided by this library, first
build a "custom toplevel":
camlmktop -custom -o camlunix unix.zo -lunix
then launch it with:
camllight camlunix
