Comment skipfirst should is not reallly necessary.

Description

Assume you have several projects in your dune directory. Now, if you run dunecontrol over all of these, it happens that one module or the other just does not work out of the box. This means that you have to rerun dunecontrol for all projects (or call it by hand for every project remaining).

In this scenario, a resume feature would be a great help. We could, for example, clone the resume semantics from the Gentoo emerge script and say

dunecontrol --resume resume the last run, completely rebuilding the module that failed

dunecontrol --resume --skipfirst resume the last run, skipping the module that failed
