Done.

Well, that's the question - what fraction of people using OMake with 
OCaml <= 3.09 are also interested in having things work correctly with 
ocamlfind, even in presence of -syntax...

Taking the -modules away is painful, but I think that breaking ocamlfind 
is also painful.

P.S. Not directly related, but I am starting to think that it would be a 
pretty good idea to link OMake with the findlib and provide an internal 
version of ocamlfind. This would make it possible to track indirect 
dependencies (findlib's configuration), cache everything in the single 
file, etc.
