Good news so far... :)

Actually I use MLKit now for typechecking :) Then the game really
works correctly with SDL et al (only I can't play it for a long
time because of the memory leaks...).

The problem with _prim was when running cmcat. I just need to
concatenate one extra sml file with the _prims (which is the
MLTon version of the SDL bindings).
Right now I paste this file by hand, which is actually not that
bad. Your makefile might come in handy though... Thanks!

Cool! I think I will call this at the start of every "level"
in the game... just to be sure, but it really runs great as it is :)
