IIUC this would make it available under ocaml.github.io/ocamlunix, but ocaml.github.io would still 404 as it does now (btw. this one could be a 301 to ocaml.org). 

GitHub sounds good to me, as does the OCaml org (given it was such a good community effort). If you move the book to a repo, we should be able to do a repo transfer into the OCaml org.

How does one set up a 301 on GitHub pages?
