It works from the windows shell (cmd.exe), the double-click compiling of
mlb/sml files in explorer / elsewhere, and the way MLton gets invoked from
other windows apps (like eclipse).

ie: It works in all the places where you are using MLton as a native windows
compiler and not from some unix-like shell. The people in my office use
mlton.bat almost exclusively. "I don't need that UNIX shit!" (obviously not
my opinion)
