The elisp code that I use on a daily basis to step through MLton
errors is in the MLton CVS.  There is a pointer to it at

  http://mlton.org/Emacs

It's not a big complex mode or anything like that.  But it works very
well for me.

What would be needed to make the MLton error format friendly to emacs?
Perhaps a simple sed postprocessor could massage MLton's format into
what's needed?
