Is this any different from a C application with the wrong import 
library?  It will fail on load.  Will the caml program fail at an arbitrary 
point during runtime or at load time?  Ignoring using dynlink, of course, 
which has the equivalent runtime failure in the C case.

I'd be fine with a compiler switch, though.
