[Libguestfs] XML encoding of the registry

[Simson Garfinkel]

Thanks. I don't mind installing OCaml on my mac. I realize that you don't like Python or Perl. There is a deeper comment about language proliferation here, but I won't make it.

I will say, though, that if you like Ocaml, you will probably love scala. You should check it out.
