[Ocaml-i18n] ANN: LocalCaml 0.1.0

This is to announce a very preliminary implementation of a message 
catalog system for localising text in OCaml programs; it's called 
LocalCaml.  The approach I've taken is partly inspired by Perl's 
Locale::Maketext module[1].  In an attempt to provide the flexibility 
needed to adapt sentence structure and morphology to numeric parameters 
in messages, the library uses a general-purpose template engine, 
CamlTemplate[2] as a language for writing message templates.

This isn't a proper release yet; I'm posting this message in order to 
ask for feedback from the OCaml community.  If you're interested in i18n 
in OCaml, please have a look and let me know what you think.

You can get the tarball from here:

Anonymous CVS access is also available:

touch ~/.cvspass
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.saucecode.org:/cvsroot login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.saucecode.org:/cvsroot co localcaml

Apologies for cross-posting.  Please post followups to the ocaml-i18n 
mailing list[3].
