 These will make it easier to install additional add-ons further down the road.
 However, if you're not able to get them working, don't worry about it much.

+    There are *five* different strategies for installing OCaml on Windows. I don't know which works best.

+    1.  First, you can go to <http://caml.inria.fr/download.en.html>.

     You can probably download and install the
     "Self installer for the port based on the MinGW toolchain"
     even if you don't know what MinGW or Cygwin are.

-    To install the Findlib add-on, you must have the
-    Cygwin system installed. We assume few of you do,
-    so we're not going to try to explain how to do this.
+    2.  A second strategy uses a package called
+        [OCPWIN](http://ocaml.org/docs/install.html#OCPWINSelfContainedOCamlforWindows). This also installs only version 4.01.0.
+
+    3.  The [three remaining strategies](http://ocaml.org/docs/install.html#OCamlonCygwin) in some way
+    use the Cygwin environment, mentioned earlier on this page. At least one of
+    those three methods will automatically fetch and help you install Cygwin.
+    The first method listed on that page says it installs version 4.00.1, but
+    really it's been updated and now installs the (somewhat newer, but still
+    not the newest) version 4.01.0.
+
+    Some of these methods may automatically install Findlib for you. If not,
+    you can try installing it yourself but I think you'll need the Cygwin
+    system installed to do so. I'm not going to explain how to do this.

     If you want to figure it out yourself, go to the
     Findlib website at <http://projects.camlcity.org/projects/findlib.html>.
