Bug description

This leads to unnecessary rebuild (targets that are producing dlls).

Workaround:

Add

let () = if Sys.os_type = "Win32" then Options.ext_dll := "dll"

in myocamlbuild.ml

Additional information

Patch attempt. A cleaner solution would certainly to read ext_dll from a file produced by ./configure
