    - (OCaml 2.99/OLabl users only) Label syntax changed to preserve
      backward compatibility with 2.0x (labeled function application
      is f ~lbl:arg instead of f lbl:arg). A tool is provided to help
      convert labelized programs to OCaml 3.00.

    Interesting.

    - Libraries (.cma and .cmxa files) now "remember" C libraries given
      at library construction time, and add them back at link time.
      Allows linking with e.g. just unix.cma instead of
      unix.cma -custom -cclib -lunix

    Awesome!

    - New modules Int32, Int64, Nativeint for 32-bit, 64-bit and
      platform-native integers

    Sugoi!

    I look forward to working with the new system!

    John.
