I removed ocamldep-omake support (on the 0.9.8.5 branch for now, as we 
might want to release another follow-up off of it; I'll merge the 
changes to 0.9.8.x later).

For now, I left the OCAMLDEP_MODULES variable (defaults for ocamldep, if 
that understands -modules and empty otherwise). However, it no longer 
makes a lot of sense - I would like to drop the OCAMLDEP_MODULES 
variable and just use the same OCAMLDEP one everywhere. Is there any 
reason not to?
