Yes.

You mean - in case the source file is capitalized? Yes, if the source 
file is capitalized we'll do the wrong thing here, but this is the same 
wrong thing that we'd get if we were relying on the external ocamldep 
(without -modules), so at least we are not making things worse. Also, 
the common case is that the source files are lowercase...

Of course, a much better long-term solution would be to pay attention to 
case issues when instantiating the implicit rules. We should get back to 
this at some point, but I do not think we need it for the 0.9.8.2.
