seems very useful to have netdev bridge manipulation as a standalone library, 
but depends on Stringext/Forkhelpers.  Can do a separate port of this to 
FreeBSD/OpenBSD if it's all wrapped up in this library.

useful enough as a standalone (rename to pci_id) though?

useful as a standalone; I have some code in Mirage-www to output Atom formats 
and stuff as well and could patch that in too (if it's using xmlm, which I 
believe it is).

Any reason not to use sexplib here instead of another hand-rolled library? 
sexplib is pretty battle-hardened.

Massively useful to have this released as a standalone library. SSL in OCaml 
remains a pain, and having 'one good way' to do it (e.g. use stud or stunnel?) 
would be handy.

sounds like all those can be internal.
