[MLton] native vs. C code generation

In March, I ran the benchmarks comparing the native, C, and preliminary 
C-- codegens.  So, you can see the results you are interested in at the 
bottom of:

There is no difference in the space usage of programs compiled using the 
different codegens.  All codegens have exactly the same (heap) memory 
usage behavior.
