The manual is wrong on that point, it's a sharp (#) not a dash (-).
# comment here
I also noticed that. Plus what seems to be a couple of bugs?
$ echo -n '# comment here' > _tags
$ ocamlbuild target
Lexical analysis error: Bad key in configuration line at line 1 (from file: "_tags")
or even worse
$ echo -n '# comment here:' > _tags
$ ocamlbuild target
Failure: lexing: empty token.
Also: I had a number of question concerning ocamlbuild in my recent post about c libs from ocaml.
I elaborate them here, but see my original post for the context.
Does anyone have an illuminating insight?

* I still don't know the most basic thing, how to build an output-obj o file.
* I found no way to convince ocamlbuild to use the local library (in this example we build
ocamlbuild foo.cmxa
and then would simply want
ocamlopt -o foo foo.cmxa foo_wrapper.ml
but 'ocamlbuild foo_wrapper.native' rebuilds it all the same
* I don't know what the possible tags are, how I add them.
* If I use a syntax extension which has to be build, adding the pp... tag does not create a dependency which is checked. I don't know how to add this dependency.
Help appreciated, but probably a more detailed manual will solve this with time.
