This could give us OCaml support to the latest upstream version. I'll run a diff between the Debian packaged 12-068 and the fork, assuming that nothing substantial has changed it might end up being easy with incorporating this as a patch. I assume if there has been substantial changes between versions, maybe different components for the OCaml support can be nitpicked and made into a patch, that is if other components do not break within the new version of mcl if the patch is applied. I'll have a look at the mcl clone[1] shortly and I'll see what I can accomplish with the limited options we have.
