Ok

Cool, thanks.

I've merged your fix with the current status of Camlp4MacroParser
which now handles signature items and a more general -D<uident>=<expr>
option.

I've applied it to the CVS (release310 branch) that is now available
from the public CVS repository.

Since some changes have been applied to camlp4 since OCaml-3.10+beta
release I suggest you to get the last version to do your porting work.

Best regard and many thanks,
