The Caml Mailing List
... The purpose of this list is to share experience, exchange ideas and
code, and report on applications of the Caml language.

Caml Announcements 
This is a low-traffic, moderated list for announcements of Caml releases and
new Caml-related software, libraries, documents, etc. Please note that all
messages sent to caml-announce@inria.fr are also automatically forwarded to
caml-list@inria.fr.

it's safe to say from the above that O'Caml related software announcements
have a place on this list - indeed, they're reasonably common. Is your
problem just that Smoke costs money?
