Hello!

I'm working on Qt bindings for OCaml. You can browse my code at
https://github.com/Kakadu/lablqt

Now qtjambi parses Qt's header files and generates an XML representation of
API. Then binding generator generates OCaml and C++ code of bindings.

Now a big part of Qt's API is stored in aaa.xml, so you don't need to
install qtjambi's generator. Big part of QtCore и QtGui is incapsulated in
this xml file.

You can use build.ml script to compile lablqt. Btw, lablqt depends on
janestreet's core_extended library.

You can see test examples in test_gen/test* directories. For examle:
https://github.com/Kakadu/lablqt/blob/master/test_gen/test5/main.ml

I've implemented almost type-safe connections from signals to slots. Also
I've created tool <https://github.com/Kakadu/lablqt/tree/master/moc>to
simplify creating of user-defined slots: you can connect them like
here<https://github.com/Kakadu/lablqt/blob/master/test_gen/test4/main.ml#L27>
and write your code separately
<https://github.com/Kakadu/lablqt/blob/master/test_gen/test4/UserSlots.ml#L2>
.

Lablqt is compilable only on a few number of machines, so I'll be glad if
you test it on your computer.

It's difficult to me to decide in what direction Qt bindings should be
developed. I you have any ideas or recommendations, I'll be glad to read
them.

Best wishes,
Kakadu
