I guess that this depends on the original author. Or we could perhaps 
start a new mogul package derived from ozh?

BTW, I have some modules almost ready for mogul (red-black tree, 
lightweight "list" dictionary, unicode support, ...), so I wonder what's 
necessary for ordinary users to upload to mogul (I haven't looked around 
for this info yet).

Yes, it is a Windows issue (mkdir returns 1 when the directory exists). 
Trivial fix...

I know that it's based on Oz (and might be based on Gecode one day?) and 
that it has something to do with ML. But I have never done any ML stuff 
so I was not interested...I'm planning to move to C++/Gecode anyhow :-) 
But thanks for the pointer!
