how can I break up a long ocamlbuild _tags line?

how can I break up a long ocamlbuild _tags line?

[Eric Cooper]

I currently have this line in my _tags file:

    <approx.{byte,native}>: use_unix, use_pcre, use_sha, use_syslog, use_netsys, use_netstring, use_netcgi, use_nethttpd-for-netcgi2

and it will probably get longer.  If this were a Makefile, I'd use \
to break it across lines.  Is there any equivalent trick?

Not yet. However you can still split it that way:

<approx.{byte,native}>: use_unix, use_pcre, use_sha, use_syslog, use_netsys
<approx.{byte,native}>: use_netstring, use_netcgi, use_nethttpd-for-netcgi2

However, I add the '\' support to ocamlbuild right now.

Can't we once have a configuration file syntax with good white space  
handling ? I.e. with a lexical syntax, the way we are used to in  
programming languages.

Best,
