how do i configure/install jocaml on windows

The only instructions I could find are here: http://eigenclass.org/hiki/fast-widefinder and on the old jocaml site.

When I try to configure using ./configure, it says jocaml and companion ocaml versions are mismatched. I tried using jocaml 3.11.0 and ocaml 3.11.0. How to go forward?

I have read in the mailing lists that support for windows is untested. Does it mean that I cannot use jocaml on windows?

Thanks in Advance.

Those instructions should still be ok, but you should get the latest JoCaml sources. The JoCaml website hasn't updated its pointers yet. You should checkout using:

 svn checkout http://caml.inria.fr/svn/ocaml/branches/jocamltrunk

(as per Ocaml's subversion instructions)

Otherwise, apparently, your JoCaml & Ocaml versions should work together. If you still encounter problems, you should ask the JoCaml mailing list.

README says that companion ocaml is optional, so that shouldn't be the problem.

The real problem, as far as I tried, is that the Makefile's for windows (msvc) are not in sync with jocaml changes. So one needs to explore diffs and update Makefiles manually. I think it is quite possible with some effort.
