I think it would be great to have a GeneWeb package.

Efuns is a cool hack, but I'm not sure it will interest a lot of
people.

Libraries are not so important, because programmer are used to compile
things themselves.  But if you feel ready to maintain a lot of Caml
packages, go ahead!

Note that there are also some cool libraries available there:
   http://www.npc.de/ocaml/linkdb/
For instance:
- PCRE: Perl Compatibility Regular Expressions for OCaml
- markup : Validating XML parser
- OCamlODBC : ODBC interface for OCaml programs
- netclient : Client for HTTP/1.1 protocol
