Just to propagate my fixes...

The  linkpkg  tag  is  in the way. This does not really make sense to restrict
the  injection  of  -linkpkg  only when the linkpkg tag is present. We want to
put -linkpkg at every ocaml link command.

This  too  much,  you  will inject -package pkg also for preprocessing options
for  instance  (-pp  "-package  ...").  You  need  to  restrict  the  scope by
specifying phases (compile,deps,link,doc).
