I am using the Windows Subsystem for Linux as my ocaml environment. (Because installing ocaml naively on windows is painful)

However, because vscode and the ocaml debugging interface are running on windows, merlin and ocamldebug are failing to execute or cannot communicate properly due to different path naming - even when called through bash.exe.

Microsoft's C/C++ extension however handles this task quite well: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/blob/master/Documentation/LanguageServer/Windows%20Subsystem%20for%20Linux.md

Would it be possible to add this functionality to the ocaml plugin?
