Cygwin cross compiler

[Henry Cejtin]

The  size of mlton-20020314.tgz on the server is 3913732 so I think something
was wrong with your download.

As to making executables which don't depend on shared  libraries,  just  like
gcc,  mlton will honor the -static flag to make statically bound executables.
Again, just as with C code, the resulting executables will  be  larger.   For
the ML program
    val _ = print "hello world0
the  size  of  a stripped normal executable is 29,660 bytes while the size of
the static, stripped executable is 1,729,683 bytes.  (Note, it is pretty much
a fixed addative overhead, not any kind of multiplicative overhead, so expect
static executables to be about 1.7 megabytes larger.)
