toplevel/topmain.ml and driver/main.ml in the OCaml sources are both pretty
good start-points to show how the compiler and runtime work. Section 18.7.4
of the manual explains embedding OCaml code within a C(++) library (and
there have been various threads in the past on this list on the subject).

I have no idea (though would be interested to know) what the licensing
aspects of doing that would be... I had a brief look at the code a few
months ago for another project and reckoned that there'd be no need to alter
any of the OCaml source files, but I don't know whether the linking
exception in the licence for OCaml extends to linking the compiler into an
application!
