ocaml: phase 5.1 kadane.ml baseline (max subarray sum = 6)
Kadane's algorithm in O(n):

  let max_subarray xs =
    let max_so_far = ref min_int in
    let cur = ref 0 in
    List.iter (fun x ->
      cur := max x (!cur + x);
      max_so_far := max !max_so_far !cur
    ) xs;
    !max_so_far

For [-2;1;-3;4;-1;2;1;-5;4] the optimal subarray is [4;-1;2;1] = 6.

Exercises min_int (iter 94), max as global, ref / ! / :=, and
List.iter with two side-effecting steps in one closure body.

46 baseline programs total.
