This issue should be straighforward to solve with proper dependencies for
_both_ custom targets and custom command OUTPUT files. We have our own
independent method of compiling OCaml libraries and executables which takes
care of such dependency issues correctly. See
http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot/trunk/bindings/ocaml/CMakeLists.txt?view=log,
http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot/trunk/bindings/ocaml/plcairo/CMakeLists.txt?view=log,
and
http://plplot.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/plplot/trunk/examples/ocaml/CMakeLists.txt?view=log.

Our method is pretty brute force (a series of add_custom commands and
add_custom targets) so we are open to adopting something different if this
current thread results in something that ultimately ends up as part
of a CMake release.

Note, our current method does work fine for parallel builds. Thus, it should
also be straightforward to make parallel builds work properly for any other
method of building ocaml libraries and apps if the necessary target and file
dependencies are handled correctly.
