Here is what I meant by `fixed names'. There is a small collection of names
(like MLton_safe) which we want to get from the machine doing the compilation
and all the other names should come from the machine which is the target
machine. Instead of hard-wiring in the name MLton_safe in to the system,
hard-wire in a prefix like MLton_Flags_ and then use that as the prefix of
all the names which we want to come from the system doing the compilation.
