It seems not to work – at least with ocaml 3.10.2 from godi.
I have:
>> ocamlbuild -show-tags mtsvrac.oocamlfind
>> Tags for "mtsvrac.oocamlfind":
>> {. dont_link_with, extension:oocamlfind, file:mtsvrac.oocamlfind, quiet,

and still
>> ocamlopt.opt: don't know what to do with mtsvrac.oocamlfind.
I will check at home with 3.11
Thanks
