Let's not wait.

The trick this time is to first change line 6 of lib/mlton/basic/exn.sml from

val history = (* fn _ => [] *) MLton.Exn.history

to

val history = fn _ => [] (* MLton.Exn.history *)

so that you can compile the new mlton with an old one.  Then, you can change the
line back and compile the new mlton with the new one.  Hopefully that's enough.
Since there are new primitives, the old-compiler/new-basis trick doesn't work.

I have checked in the web pages.  I am now running "make-rpms -home".  I will
tell you when mlton-home.tgz is ready.
