Should be running. Would you test it for me?

Does not work at the moment. And, for some reason, the server now does not send 
compilation errors by email, so I cannot figure it out. But, the failed 
submission shows in the recent submission table on "My Profile" page, so at 
least the language autodetection works.

A wild guess - in the conditional

ile_anything.py#158

there is "Ocaml", but maybe there is "OCaml" in the database?

Looks like there is a mismatch between the database and the script 
compile_anything.py.

1) Clearly, at

http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/source/browse/trunk/planet_wars/backend/comp
ile_anything.py#213 

the variable detected_lang is set to "OCaml"

2) but, in compile_function(), the conditional tests against the string 
"Ocaml", at

http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/source/browse/trunk/planet_wars/backend/comp
ile_anything.py#158

3) moreover, there is no return statement in the OCaml branch in 
compile_function()

4) However, there is no return statement in other branches for already working 
languages (e.g. Ruby). I'm not sure I understand it...

-- PROPOSED FIX --

Change "OCaml" to "Ocaml" in the database, and maybe add return statement
at

http://code.google.com/p/ai-contest/source/browse/trunk/planet_wars/backend/comp
ile_anything.py#161
