Thanks, this was a long overdue and useful update!

Drup mentioned on the IRC meeting that portions of this tutorial may be
useful to contribute upstream to Lwt.  Is the manual the right place,
or is there somewhere else?  If we just kept it at the existing location,
it would be easier to build on with Mirage-specific content and
guidelines.

Incidentally, there is an interesting thread about Lwt_stream semantics
upstream that Mirage consumers may have opinions on:
