Namely, you can write "module L = List" in signatures,
and avoid have the compiler use directly List when you write L.

While trying to come up with the previous commit, I noticed that the
various Windows config files had diverged: all but config/Makefile.mingw
were lacking a '%' in a pattern and this prevents the pattern from matching
anything.

Rev 14168 (build: replace ocamlcomp*.sh.) broke "make world" (but
surprisingly, not "world.opt") because the argument to ocamlmklib's -ocamlc
has to be a Windows path, i.e. C:\...\ocamlc. Instead it gave a UNIX one,
i.e. /home/foo/ocaml/ocamlc.
Call cygpath in otherlibs/Makefile.nt to fix that.

-C doesn't work on at least openbsd's make so don't use it.

The "make clean" rules were relying on the $(ROOTDIR) variable.
However this variable is only defined when ./configure runs. This broke the
usual "make clean ; ./configure && make world.opt":
< use old trunk >
./configure # config/Makefile doesn't define ROOTDIR
make world.opt
< move to new trunk >
make clean # Fails early and doesn't clean all files
./configure # config/Makefile now defines ROOTDIR
make world.opt # This fails because of left-over files
An easy solution was to run "make clean" again after configure but this is
not how everyone does and in particular, this is not how the jenkins build
bot seem to do.
The recipes for "make clean" should never rely on values defined by
configure for this exact reason.
As a simple solution, only run the commands that rely on $(ROOTDIR) if
$(ROOTDIR) is set.

On Windows, IFLEXDIR is defined as -I"$(FLEXDIR)". The new
mk_shell_and_ocamlbuild_config script outputs:
echo IFLEXDIR="\"$(IFLEXDIR)\""
However, becauses $(IFLEXDIR) contains quotation marks, this becomes:
echo IFLEXDIR="\"-I"$(FLEXDIR)"\""
This unquotes $(FLEXDIR) and breaks the program.
Simply exclude IFLEXDIR from the variables that are handled by the
script. This is actually what the previous scripts were doing: the
exclude list was .*FLEXDIR and matched both IFLEXDIR and FLEXDIR while
the one I made only had \<FLEXDIR\> in it.
I've tried to handle it but there are at least three competing languages
and quoting rules: makefile (both gnu make and several bsd makes), shell
script and ocaml.
There's no human way to do string processing given the portability
constraints: both gnu make and pmake (and its descendants) have powerful
string processing functions but they're not the same.
The only sane way would be to store the configuration in a more evolved
language that is portable, has arrays and powerful string handling
routines in standard like C or awk. From there it would be possible to
output make, shell script and OCaml code easily.
One day. Maybe.
