Be sure that there *are* people who follow this work with *big* interest. :-) I think that an *easy* FFI (you call it "out of the box") is one of the most important stuff to do for Ocaml. Most of us know that there aren't any *impossibilities* (more or less anything *can* be done, but you have to use exactly the correct macros etc...), but its not .... yes, say "out of the box". You should also, I think, consider a "submission" to Gerd Stolpmann's OCaml link list. So again, keep us please informed about *any* new release of your FFI work. last but least (no flame here): please don't *force* us to use labels....!
