I also noticed the HTTP server support in the latest ocamlnet and was
planning to try it out (and since netclient now supports both http and
ftp, I may be able to get rid of my libcurl dependency, too.)

This is fine with me.  But perhaps it would be better to phase it out
in favor of Gerd's library?  I don't have an opinion yet, but should
get some insight after I try porting approx to it in the next few days.
(Are there any other projects that build-depend on libhttp-ocaml-dev?)
