Stub code generator for using C/C++ libraries from OCaml

CamlIDL is a stub code generator and COM binding for Objective Caml.

CamlIDL comprises two parts

* A stub code generator that generates the C stub code required for the Caml/C interface, based on an MIDL specification. MIDL stands for Microsoft's Interface Description Language; it looks like C header files with some extras annotations, plus a notion of object interfaces that look like C++ classess without inheritance.

* A currently small library of functions and tools to import COM components in Caml applications, and export Caml code as COM components.
