(replying to myself here)

I may have spoken too soon on the ease of tweaking a build system based 
on
OASIS + OCamlbuild to work with module aliases and -no-alias-deps: the 
toy
example does compile from scratch, but the build system gets confused by
subsequent modifications to source files.

I have created a branch in the Lambdoc repo for experimenting with this
process [1].  If you try to compile it, it almost works, but you do get
lots of nasty warnings and a generally confused build system.

Kind regards,
Dario Teixeira
