[Omake] Syntax errors (from "or" and "&")

[Mark Wong-VanHaren]

Okay, I'm now thinking that my issue may have to do with the presence
of JoCaml on my machine.  JoCaml uses not only '&' and 'or' as
keywords, but 'def' as well.  (It was running into a syntax error on a
line with 'def' which flipped the light on for me.)

I did not in any way mean for OMake's build system to use the JoCaml's
version of ocamlc, so I'm not sure why it's happening.  I'll keep
digging around.

If anyone else out there should happen to be using both JoCaml and
OMake or may otherwise have some insight as to how to handle this
situation, I'd greatly appreciate some pointers.

Thanks!
