Thanks!   I tried it, but to no avail. I have not only options, but also
command-line arguments:
what I am trying to do is run something like

foo -max_cores 4 -foovalue 3 file1 file1 file3 ...

I am trying to run, in ocamlp3l,

foo --p3lroot -max_cores 4 -foovalue 3 file1 file1 file3 ...

but the program seems to get stuck forever with no computation happening...
(I am compiling with the -thread mode).  In the camlp3l manual, it does not
say anything about what happens to command-line arguments; reading a bit of
the ocamlp3l code it seems it expects "processors" to be specified (even in
the thread mode? It would be a single processor...  and just how are
processors supposed to be specified?  only in the root process, or in all of
them? ).
Is there some up-to-date information about command-line processing in
ocamlp3l avaliable anywhere?

Many thanks for the help,

Luca
