Great. I don't will have time until this WE or rather early next week to
review it, hopefully someone will have next week.
Why did you chose to use advi as an example, and not spamoracle ? The advi
example is only valid if you have c bindings, but even then, they should
probably be moved into a library package instead.

These two are linda bugs. bytecode cannot be stripped, since it will remove
the ocaml bytecode and leave only an empty husk. Just override or ignore
those.

There is somethign such in the ocaml svn, not sure what the status is. Sylvain
and Stefano i believe where those who worked on it, and can comment more.
