Problem description:
OCamlbuild dependencies are not as good as possible:
1	   OCaml code gets recompiled sometimes even though it should not.
	   (due to the way pre-processed files are handled)
2	   libcamlshredder is almost never rebuilt when external header or .a
	   files  change.
How to reproduce:
./build
Proposed solution:
1: try to explicitely produce the pre-processed ocaml files.
2: generate manually a digest for library and header files.
