    Thanks everyone for your answers.
    I think I have all information I need for now...

    More on this when I'll actually try to produce
    such executables, if I get problems.

    > Can OCaml programs be compiled to native Windows(x86) executables ?

    Yes, you can produce standalone Win32 executables, either using the
    bytecode compiler ocamlc with the -custom option, or using the
    native-code compiler ocamlopt.

    >From the README.win32 file:

      Linking Caml bytecode with C code (ocamlc -custom) requires the
      Microsoft Visual C++ compiler version 6.

      The native-code compiler (ocamlopt) requires Visual C++ version 6
      and the Microsoft assembler MASM version 6.11 or later.
      MASM can be downloaded for free from Microsoft's Web site;
      see the comp.lang.asm.x86 FAQ for directions, or
      http://www.cs.uu.nl/wais/html/na-dir/assembly-language/x86/microsoft.html

    Hope this helps,
