I've updated the example. Keeping this PR open because we need to document caml_strdup and caml_strconcat.

[edit] the updating was commits 9d040c2 (in 4.03) and 380a091 (in trunk/4.04)

caml_stat_strdup and caml_stat_strconcat are now documented in memory.h. I've also added a couple of fixes to the manual: #1126.
