I see two dangers: - this could result in an over-featured library; - the "regular" and the "extended" library may diverge. On the other hand, I don't think it would be a bad thing if more people contributed to the development of O'Caml. Anyway, you can always set up a repository on Sourceforge or any similar site and see what happens. :-) -- Jérôme
