What comes out is that there are many ways to use OCaml on Windows (using the Cygwin-based native win32 port, using the Cygwin port, compiling from sources to get a Microsoft based native Win32/Win64 port, using the WODI package manager, using OCamlPro's OCaml distribution for Windows [3]...), but that none of these seems to be a clear-cut solution. Moreover, the range of options has unfortunately shrunk since WODI has stopped being maintained [4]. We feel like advertising and discussing individual and corporate efforts to improve the support of OCaml on Windows deserves a wider audience than people actively looking at a few disparate GitHub issues. Therefore, we have set up a `wg-windows` mailing list to work through the issues.
