Bug description

In both 4.03.0 and 4.04.0, ocamlc responds to unknown options with a usage message:

$ ocamlc -wibble
ocamlc: unknown option '-wibble'.
Usage: ocamlc <options> <files>
Options are:
<option list cut>

4.03.0 responds similarly to an unknown file extension:

$ ocamlc wibble.asdf
ocamlc: don't know what to do with wibble.asdf.
Usage: ocamlc <options> <files>
Options are:
<option list cut>

But 4.04.0 and trunk respond badly:

$ ocamlc wibble.asdf
Fatal error: exception Arg.Bad("don't know what to do with wibble.asdf")

ocamlopt has the same issue.
