We will provide ocamlopt (32/64 bits). But indeed, the toolchain can be an issue (esp. masm). I plan to use VS2008. Maybe the native Lexifi's amd64/x86 backend is a better option. If we are able to use this backend, we still have to use a linker ? > > Not building labltk seems ok.

Since I almost never use it, I don't think it will be a big loose. I will probably look for ledit (or lwt toplevel) which seems a better alternative to emacs (too heavy too install).
