There are hard trade-offs between simplicity, execution speed and
size of generated code. However, the compilation scheme I used in
Caml Light is a reasonable starting point. It was inspired by
Phil Wadler's chapter in Simon Peyton Jones's book "The implementation of
functional programming languages" (out of print, but a scanned version
is available from SPJ's Web page), and described in details in the
"ZINC report", http://pauillac.inria.fr/~xleroy/publi/ZINC.ps.gz
Luc Maranget has some papers describing much more sophisticated
approaches used in the OCaml compiler, if you find so inclined.
