The problem with the ~/.mlton/mlb-path-map file is that it is a SINGLE per-
user config file. Hence if I have two different programs (perhaps compiled
by two different versions of MLton) and I want to use MLB path variables that
point to DIFFERENT places for them then I have to have a different HOME. I
do have to do this for some things, so I need a shell file which sets the
HOME variable, and then different directories which have a .mlton and
.mlton/mlb-path-map in them.
It is much much nicer to just have a single explicit (non-hidden environment
variable HOME) which says where the MLB path variables are defined.
