Bug description
ocamldep gets confused when opening modules that contain nested sub-modules.
The file attached below (sigs.mli) presents the problem. The file contains
no references to external modules, yet when ocamldep is run it will report
a dependency on an external module called "Word". (That is, "ocamldep sigs.mli"
produces "sigs.cmi: word.cmi" if the file word.mli exists.)
Steps to reproduce
save sigs.mli (attached to disk)
touch word.mli
ocamldep sigs.mli
