While developping OCaml-Java, I had to reverse-engineer this  
information.
I produced two pdf files available at http://cadmium.x9c.fr/ 
downloads.html :
	- caml-formats.pdf describes both the marshalled data format and the  
bytecode file format;
	- caml-instructions.pdf describes all the instructions used by the  
OCaml VM.

Hope this helps,

Xavier


PS: I would be happy to hear about every mistake you find in these  
documents
