Leo White put together a custom compiler frontend for just this use
case a while back:
https://github.com/lpw25/ocaml-with-pp
The idea is that you build this with a static set of camlp4 extensions,
and it runs the input through camlp4 and then passes the AST directly
through to the compiler (via compiler-libs).
It should be reasonably easy to adapt this to a toplevel model
as well -- let us know if you need a hand.
