I think the following is easiest:
http://www.taglib.co.kr/ocaml/win32.html

(summary:
- install cygwin with mingw, compile ocaml
- get gtk for mingw
- compile lablgtk with it)

Tell me if it does not work (the trick is replacing  a -fnative-struct
with a -mms-bitfields at some point in a Makefile). I did it recently
and it worked like a charm.
