I have noticed a moment ago that an interface description file was missing
somehow for the OCaml source file in this compilation attempt.

I have added the following extra rules as a special handling.


commands.cmo: commands.ml
        $(OCAMLC_CMD) -c $<

commands.cmx: commands.ml
        $(OCAMLOPT_CMD) -c $<


I wonder then that the make tool did not give me a direct clue for a failed
software dependency as I am used to in other cases.
