Not really abandoned, but unfortunately I don't really have the time to work on a cleaner implementation of cow (which was what I've started to do with that bunches of commits). I have just started to gather some unit tests: https://github.com/samoht/ocaml-cow/tree/master/lib_tests/md).

 btw, I'll be very happy to switch/use any available pure OCaml implementation, though.
