Bug description

The "overview of the compiler" sections of the ocamlc and ocamlopt sections of the manual give a summary of the role of various file extensions consumed or produced by the ocaml compilers

http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/comp.html#sec265
http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/native.html#sec286

Unfortunately, they were never updated to describe .cmt* files, so users that look at the build artifacts of a project may not know what those are.

I see that in these chapters there is a lot of almost identical information about files of various formats and their processing during compilation. Should I duplicate information about .cmt/cmti in both chapters?

Except if you want to backport the manual addition to 4.08.1, the issue can be closed.
