That's the solution we followed in Mlpost (http://mlpost.lri.fr/) and it
works fine (you may have a look at the Makefile.in in mlpost sources).
Indeed, you have to repeat (parts of) the modules interfaces, but since
it is where we put all the ocamldoc documentation, in a single file, it
appears to be a satisfying solution.
