I meant improvement of "project organization and management" :-).

But, it's starting any day now.  Really.

Not officially, but Jens Soegaard, a reader of this list, made some
progress back in April.  See various "MLton and shared libraries"
threads, e.g.

  http://mlton.org/pipermail/mlton/2005-April/026996.html

In looking back over the mails, I see that it looked pretty close, but
we never got a patch from Jens.  Jens, would you care to update us and
possibly submit a patch?
