CAMLexport was more appropriate. CAMLprim is used by the OCaml Makefiles 
to build to table of C primitives available by default in an OCaml runtime.

I said "was" because in the forthcoming OCaml 3.11, CAMLexport will be 
useless even on Windows (but it might be a good idea to keep it, just as 
an annotation).
