This one is a bit different from the other two syntax extensions. He's building a standalone preprocessor (/usr/bin/deriving) using an undocumented[1] feature of camlp4. I don't know if this is just his personal preference or if there's some reason behind it. Most camlp4 & camlp5 extensions are distributed as '*.cmo' files, usually 'pa_*.cmo' where 'pa' stands for parser, and they get dynamically loaded into the rest of camlp4 at runtime. Rich.
