Thanks for the answer.
I was just curious.
As for doing it myself, I don't think I know OCAML/GTK well enough to do
the job :).
Thanks again.

Mmm, well, i don't think it takes all that much knowledge to add the
few things you really need. All you really need to know about ocaml is
found in the chapter on C bindings, and gtk+ is well documented.
