PSARC 2008/406 Objective Caml System and LablGTK

[frank Che]

Feedback from the community is:

OCaml has no binary compatibility at all between compiler releases,
not even between point releases.  Lablgtk2 is even worse - there is no
_source_ compatibility either.

In this case, the submitter would like to change all interfaces to 'Uncommitted'. If no more concern, I will update the case material tomorrow to mark all interfaces as 'Uncommitted'.

Frank.
