I tried out ocamldsort, and it seems to work well, *except* that
there seems to be a strange bug involving directories:

~/d/merjis/tools/wiki/scripts/lib$ ocamldsort -byte *.ml *.mli
cocanwiki_date.cmo cocanwiki_emailnotify.cmo cocanwiki_files.cmo [...]

~/d/merjis/tools/wiki/scripts/lib$ cd ..

~/d/merjis/tools/wiki/scripts$ ocamldsort -I lib -byte lib/*.ml lib/*.mli
lib/cocanwiki.cmo lib/cocanwiki_date.cmo lib/cocanwiki_diff.cmo [...]

The second ordering is completely wrong.  (In fact, I think the second
ordering is just alphabetic ordering).
