[MLton] MLton IL

I could ask the question: "Which MLton IL?  (There are many.)"  But, the 
answer for all of them is: "No, we don't have parsers for any of the ILs."

For debugging the compiler, we've always found that starting from the 
SML source file was sufficient.

If someone wanted to use MLton as a backend for a different front-end 
language, then targeting one of the ILs would be appropriate.  I don't 
think it would be terribly hard to write a parser for the SSA IL (or any 
of the other ones).  But, we haven't found it necessary.
