Cygwin with Xfree might be too much for normal windows user. I installed 
and cheked that it worked. Installing was easy and there were no 
problems. I don't know what to do if setup will not work!

Gimp style with libraries could be possible, I might use Cygwin/xfree.

How much ocaml code needs to make direct screen operations? If not then 
porting might be easier as I think that them can be used in any program 
(and BCB can be used). So screen operations, image operations, operating 
system part, GUI, ... are own modules so that portability is not too 
much tied to one enviroment.

Still I think that wxWindows will be faster (no emulation) than cygwin 
but there might not be one good solution at a moment to make easily 
portable code, other than Java??.
