Yes, the dependencies-proper function will do that. I've added a note 
about it in the documentation. I've also added a section on other 
(probably better) alternatives for distclean - 
http://omake.metaprl.org/omake-system.html#section:distclean

Right - it is possible that nothing depends on that .cmi file (note that 
the ocamldep without "OCAMLDEP_MODULES" will usually omit such 
dependencies even when they actually exist); the file is then just a 
side-effect of the .cmx rule, but not a dependency. Therefore the file 
will be generated, but not included in the output of dependencies* 
functions.

Note that the alternative methods (including the filter-proper-targets 
one) will do the right thing here.
