The first chapter of [Appel92] has a short discussion on selection of
intermediate representations.

@Book{Appel92,
  Author = 	 "Andrew W. Appel",
  title = 	 "{Compiling with continuations}",
  publisher = 	 "Cambridge University Press",
  year = 	 1992
}

Whatever kind of representation you go for.  Make it as simple as
possible and then simplify it some more.  Complex intermediate
representations are a pain.
