I can. I use ocamlopt to compile the OCaml code and link the object =
files and some OCaml libraries to my Win32 executable. Linking is done =
by VisualC++. (In practice it's a bit more complicated, as e.g. you have =
to link the additional file "camlstartup.asm" that would be =
automatically added if you used ocamlopt for linking. And there seems to =
be a conflict between Microsoft's runtime string functions and the =
regexp package delivered with OCaml. So I replaced the C regexp =
functions in OCaml's libstr.)

That's right. And it's indeed easy to port C++ code to OCaml.
But VisualC++ would still have the advantage of offering a simple way to =
design GUI resources and link them with your code in an easy way (via =
message maps).
