The idea is to make MLton easy for Joe-average windows user. Bundling a
known-good mingw with MLton means the user doesn't have anything else to
setup (MinGW isn't a very easy install) and we avoid problems where mingw
changes something mlton depends on (this has happened in the past).

If what Brian suggested already doens't help, I notice there are two changes
to the mlb lexer made on November 22, 2007 (r6195 and r6196). That MSI
installer gave you a bleeding edge MLton. You may be affected by still other
changes made since the 20070826 release.
