I did in the past, but gave up due to the lack of a "reliable" upstream.
I was aware of ocaml-tmk you are mentioning (which seems to be quite
dead ...) and of the curses example used in the OCaml manual for showing
how to use the C/OCaml glue code.

Why forking? Have you tried contacting the author and asking him to
become a member of the Savannah project? Seems to be a better start to
me.

Notwithstanding that I totally welcome a reliable upstream for such a
library. Debianers: any taker for the Debian package? I'm quite settled
with mine ATM :)

Cheers.
