Extunix would be a reasonable choice (I also thought of Ocamlnet). I
would encourage you, however, to release a mq-specific library if you
can (possibly depending on one of those libs for helper functions; you
don't necessarily need to be self-contained). Many users are wary of
large monolithic libraries, and being a library of its own will allow
the features to be easier to search for in, say, the package manager.
