It's the build system integration that fills me with dread (figuring
out the ocamlfind META runes, how to plumb this through to ocamlbuild,
OASIS and OMake, and activate it only for files that use Core).

Not insurmountable, but not my highest priority to figure out right
now.  If anyone else does know the ocamlfind META format off-hand,
I'd be happy to patch Cow in a similar way.
