FreeBSD Port: mlton-20100608_3

[Mayuresh Kathe]

Hi Tim,

That's great news.

I believe that the LLVM backend isn't ready for prime-time yet.
Also, it's good to have a complete SML system written mostly in SML 
itself.
Except for that dependency on GMP (which I intend to remedy soon-ish), I 
don't think there's anything external which can be categorized as 
necessary, unless the BASIS libraries and SMLNJ libraries are considered 
as external.

Looking forward to your update.

Thanks,

~Mayuresh
