O.k. I'll see about cleaning that up towards the end of this week.

In which case, I would further suggest that we hack the HTML to replace
the "MLton" in the banner with "MLton 20050817" so that it stamps the
release appropriately. We can then hang the dewikied HTML off mlton.org
as the immutable documentation for the release and have the wiki portion
of mlton.org follow HEAD.
