Buiid/install stages documentation?

[Perry E. Metzger]

Is there any documentation I can read about how the various build and
install stages work? I am trying to rig things up so that I can use
opam (the ocaml package manager) to do all the heavy lifting for the
various ocaml ports, but I need to know what it is that I need it to
be doing before I try to tweak it to do it for me. :)

(By default, opam installs into a .opam/VERSION/ directory for the
user, in which there's bin, lib, man etc. directories.)

It's possible everything is in the developer guide and I've just
failed to notice sufficiently.
