If you just want portability, then why not generate Java-byte code instead
of Ocaml-bytecode. Then you can distribute you Ocaml-applications in Jars.
And you can benefit from the JIT of SUN etc, for example SUN's latest JIT
called HotSpot.
This has been done for many languages, for example JPython.
See http://grunge.cs.tu-berlin.de/~tolk/vmlanguages.html for more examples.
