The OCaml Journal article "Calling C code from OCaml" (10th July 2008) 
described an OCaml program that invoked a C function both via a stub written 
in C and via JIT compiled interface code using LLVM (no more stinking C 
stubs!).

I would like to write more on JIT-compiled interface code in the future and 
perhaps write a library to make it easy.

Sounds like you really want HLVM. :-)
