Mmm, what do you mean by old spurious entries ? Do you mean by that
directories held by packages that are no more on the system, or just
empty lines.
Maybe i could add another tool that would check the directories and
remove empty lines (or better lines not hold by a package; i suppose it
is the packages responsability to remove empty lines) and just run it
when the ocam lpackage is upgraded (not everytime we use ocaml-ldconf).
