Makefile not quite right

Well, I'm confused. Yes, I am talking about the Makefile in src/mlton.
Despite the setting of PATH, after making the mlton there, typing
make -n
does indeed try to execute the mlton in that directory. The same occurs
without the `-n'. Note, this is in the case where there is nothing to do. I
deduce that the PATH setting is NOT effecting the things inside of
$(shell ...)
things since these should be the only mlton calls running. It looks pretty
insane to me,
As to the name, I don't care what the name is, I just don't think it should
be `mlton'. `mlton1' and `mltonc' both seem a bit random. I would pick
`grind' or `mlton.grind' or something, but it really doesn't matter.
