Hello!

it’s my pleasure to announce a (very) preliminary version of `OCaml-sdl3` (or simply `sdl3` for the package name), which obviously is a set of bindings for the [SDL3](https://www.libsdl.org/) library.

Why announcing a preliminary version? First, because I won’t have much time to work on it in the next couple of months, and second, because I believe you can already have fun with it!

The bindings are generated by a program that uses `clang` to inspect the SDL code. This is a first phase; not all functions are usable yet. I have started to write manual wrappers for a few of them. (See the examples).

_AI disclaimer:_ Although I have to admit chatGPT was my friend for understanding how to use `clang` and `ctypes`, I would like to state here that the whole binding generator (plus all manual additions, of course) was entirely written by (my) hand.
