Okay, that settles it. I've added "gcc" and "libncurses-devel" to the requires: line in setup.hint -- can someone please upload a new version of just that file from <http://cs.nyu.edu/~pechtcha/cygwin/ocaml/setup.hint>.

Right. I'll need to review that carefully, and I'm pretty sure I mentioned this in the announcement, but I'll fix the README. > One more comment for the README.

I'll release an update to the ocaml package as time permits.
