Bug description

This does not mean that we are aware of any bug, [...]

• labltk: another version of the ocamltk Tcl/Tk interface. It
  allows for a more natural syntax, using optional arguments.

Here's a patch and a bug report for labltk.

1. The link scripts contain a couple of typos:

All .{ml,mli} files are generated in this directory

2. The colors of labltk applications coe out wrong with the native
   compiler on my Linux system (see below for the configuration,
   the bug is independent of whether I use native threads or not).
   E.g. ./eyes.opt has green eyes, while ./eyes is black on white.
   I haven't investigated this further yet.
