That is good news -- thank you :-)

Handling such pragma lines opens new ranges of use for Coccinelle!

On my side, I just followed install.txt:

#!/bin/bash
set -e
set -x
trap "read" EXIT # will block for input on error
git clone https://github.com/coccinelle/coccinelle.git
cd coccinelle
./autogen
./configure 
make # it stops here
# make install

and it reaches:

...
OCAMLOPT  enter.ml
OCAMLC    main.mli
OCAMLOPT  main.ml
OCAMLOPT  -o spatch.opt

It's my first experience building any ocaml-based software, so 
I would appreciate any hint how to proceed further, if possible.
