Here is the list so far: 1. no build system setup : Martin who first did the packaging, didn't have included how to build ocaml/findlib neither the binaries itself. So basically you need to build by hand to generate the .msi. This is not a big issue but for a collective effort it is better to have a common way to build the binaries 2. some environment variables are not set and make ocaml crash (AFAIR, we doesn't set OCAMLIB) 3. we don't ship the graphical toplevel 4. I am still not sure how to deal with ActiveTCL + OCaml (because of the ActiveTCL license) 5. Total lack of documentation 1. is mandatory to my mind. Regards, Sylvain Le Gall
