Bug description

When compiling with [make world opt], [make install] does not install ocamlbuild.cmx. When compiling with [make world opt.opt], this file is installed properly. It seems this should be installed in both cases.

Not sure this is a bug. "make opt" means "build the ocamlopt compiler". "make opt.opt" means "build ocamlopt-compiled versions of all the tools".

The defaultentry in the Makefile echoes the following:

@echo "Please refer to the installation instructions in file INSTALL."
@echo "If you've just unpacked the distribution, something like"
@echo "	./configure"
@echo "	make world"
@echo "	make opt"
@echo "	make install"
@echo "should work.  But see the file INSTALL for more details."

This suggested build sequence causes the problem I noted, and maybe should be changed.

I confirm that "make opt" is not supposed to build the native-code version of ocamlbuild.
I have updated the Makefile to mention "make world.opt", which will build it. (r 12929 and 12930)
