Here's what I learned trying iimport.sml on various platforms.
------------------------------------------------------------
Cygwin OK, but -link-opt -ldl isn't needed because dlopen and friends
are available in libcygwin. Also, I needed to change the
library file name from "libm.so" to "cygwin1.dll".
Darwin can't test. :-(
{Free,Net,Open}BSD
OK, but -link-opt -ldl isn't needed because dlopen and friends
are available in libc.
Linux OK
MinGW Doesn't work. I'm not sure where to get dlopen and friends.
Brent, do you have any ideas here?
Solaris OK, but -link-opt -ldl isn't needed because it's already in
bin/mlton.
------------------------------------------------------------
To make things easier, I've taken the -link-opt -ldl out of
ffi/Makefile and put a -target-link-opt linux -ldl in bin/mlton. I
also tweaked iimport.sml so it loads the right file on Cygwin.
