OCaml Batteries Included, release 0: Where it should all have begun

After a few discussions on IRC, by e-mail and on forums, I have come to realize that both the purpose of Batteries Included and what the development of Batteries involved were quite unclear to most people — and that we should probably have started our work in quite a different manner. All these discussions have prompted a few changes and the release of a first pre-version of Batteries Included, which you may find on the OCamlForge project (you may also browse source code here and API documentation here).

This release represents what we should have produced in the first place; a simple and uniform presentation layer on top of existing libraries.
