Bug description

E.g. I would like to call the pre-processor executable this way:

ocamlopt -ppx "../my_extension -fail-with-code 0" test.ml

this would allow to pass some parameters to the extension.

This is already the case: -ppx takes an external command and simply adds two arguments to it. The ppx program can parse its first arguments as it wants. I've updated the "standard driver" in parsing/ast_mapper.ml to document this fact.
