GODI installs the required cmi's. One can easily compile your utility
with

ocamlc -o cmidump -I /opt/godi-3.11/lib/ocaml/compiler-lib/
       toplevellib.cma cmidump.ml 

For docs.camlcity.org I converted all cmi's to a readable format by a
little script that does apply "ocamlc -i" on the program "include M"
where M is the module to print. That gives finally a nice view on all
information, like in

http://docs.camlcity.org/docs/godipkg/3.11/godi-lwt/lib/ocaml/pkg-lib/lwt/lwt.cmi_pretty

You can switch between the pretty-printed cmi, the mli, and the source
files. Ideal for exploring software.
