Well in fact, it is an app of mine. I need it to load thumbnail... But
maybe other people who are developping app with ocaml will also need it.
But in fact, there is no problem. In fact, i think i will build in the
near future an app for lablgtk2. It seems a lot more powerful.
Concerning this : do you know if someone is planning to adapt zoggy to
lablgtk2 ?

I am not sure. I think it could be a good think since there is a
lablgtk1 package. But i am not sure of the interest of the effort.
