Can this OMakefile be simplified?

[Joel Reymont <joelr1@gmail.com>]

I found this OMakefile in the sqlite3 bindings for OCaml. I'm trying  
to package my translator as a set of C bindings and I wonder if this  
Omakefile can be made simpler.

Any suggestions? Pointers to simpler Omakefiles for other C bindings?

	Thanks in advance, Joel
