Same problem here, my intention was to call it ocaml-core, but the idea
of "pressing" Jane St for a better name together is neat. "janestcore"
sounds nice to me. If you feel so, go ahead and mail them with our
concerns; please put me in Cc.

A bit too long for our standards, but in fact I have already grabbed
your module summary posted to the caml list and put it in README.Debian
(with the due kudos). It looks like that summary is exactly what you've
put in the Fedora description.

I haven't yet attacked the big-endian bits, but I'm working on a patch
to make bin-prot dependency optional and detected at compile time. Will
mail you back when I've something fully working.
Cheers.
