How do I pass a C string into OCaml if the assumption is that it will  
not be modified? Do I still need to copy it with caml_copy_string?

I don't think I need to allocate strings on the OCaml heap from C as  
the string given to OCaml will be allocated on the C heap and the  
string returned from OCaml will be garbage-collected automatically.

	Thanks, Joel
