config-file

To define a new cp class, you just have to provide an implementation for the wrappers between your type foo and the type Raw.cp.

Once you have your wrappers w, write

class foo_cp = [foo] cp_custom_type w

For further details, have a look at the commented .ml file, section Predefined cp classes.
