:)

I've not published it since I haven't yet wrapped enough of the API  
to do anything useful. The snippet included every function I had  
mapped at the time I sent the message! Stay tuned.

My intent is to contribute this work to the LLVM project, so you  
won't have any licensing problems. In fact, I've simply integrated  
the ocaml bindings into LLVM's source tree so that they are built and  
installed if configure can find ocamlc.
