I've been playing around with OMake and it *is* much nicer
than GNU Make (and SCons, jam, and cook, IMO), but there
are still some relatively serious issues with the current
(pre-1.0) releases, so I don't think it would be a good
idea to use it for ExtLib just yet.

Most of the issues are being addressed and it looks like
OMake may become a very nice build system (not only for
OCaml-based projects, but also in general).

Cheers,
