ocamldep does not make dependencies for subdirectories on WIN2000 (I
presume for all WIN32). For example, in a system where you have
directory X and subdirectory A then running ocamldep
from the top directory (X):
ocamldep -I A A*.ml*
will result in an empty set of dependecies.

Using a cygwin bash shell ocamldep does work, but not from a normal windows
command prompt.

Right, the "globbing" code in OCaml (the code that expands * patterns
on the command line) did not handle directories in patterns correctly:
for A*.ml* it would return xx.ml yy.ml instead of the correct
A\xx.ml A\yy.ml.

The problem doesn't appear under bash, because bash itself performs
the globbing before invoking ocamldep.

This is now fixed in the working sources. Thanks for the bug report.
