How about this:

(from 
http://www.ocaml-programming.de/packages/documentation/findlib/r416.html 
)

THE "guess" SUBCOMMAND
Synopsis

ocamlfind guess package_name file ...

Description

This command is experimental: It tries to determine the META file by 
inspecting the files to install for a package, and by comparing these 
files with the current package base.

Simply call this command after you have built your library and before 
you want to install it for the first time. The first argument must be 
the package name, and the other arguments must be the files you are 
going to install. The command inspects the .cmi and .cma/.cmxa files and 
writes a META file to stdout. (Of course, it does not install any of 
these files.)

Note that the generated META file is guessed and may be wrong.
