What the...wow, sorry about that! That question actually pertained to 
unison, not Ocaml. But since this is getting somewhere... :)

I'm a newbie to Ocaml so I wasn't entirely sure what to do but the only 
file in unison that used format_int had the lines:

external format_int: string -> int -> string = "format_int"
external format_float: string -> float -> string = "format_float"
[format_int and format_float are used further down in the file]

So should I prepend "caml_" to both the stuff in quotes and the stuff on 
the left? I did that and it compiled fine but I'm wondering if modifying 
the stuff in quotes might cause problems later on.

Thanks!
