Have you decided to make the extlib with only ocaml code, 
without any external C ?

Anyway if you wish to test the write_double_opt, grab it here:
http://www.linux-nantes.org/~fmonnier/TMP/extlib-1.5.1_write_double_opt.tar.bz2
and to test, just open the tarball and type:
 sh test_write_double.sh

Here are the elapsed times that I get:
  0.44 sec. -- the implementation of the current extLib
  0.16 sec. -- proposal for inclusion in the extLib distribution
  0.14 sec. -- with a higher-order function
