Eugene,
No, I haven't thought about it. Basically, I'm going to need O'Caml for
my work, so I'm willing to maintain it. I doubt I'll have the time to
understand, build, and provide support for GODI (which, at first glance,
seems to be an O'Caml equivalent of CPAN). If it becomes a requirement
for me, and I end up building and using it, then I'll consider packaging
it for Cygwin and maintaining it. In the meantime, you're welcome to step
in if you wish, and ITP it separately.
Igor
