Sarah,
I thought there'd be more interest in the C bindings, personally, so
I'm pleasantly surprised by the vigorous response to the Ocaml
bindings. I suppose the primary audience for C bindings are FFIs for
other languages, so perhaps it's not an entirely surprising result in
retrospect.
Regardless, I don't think you need to worry about them going anywhere
now that the portability problems have been ironed out of the makefiles.
