I would like to reconsider moving MLton to SourceForge, possibly even
before the upcoming release.  Doing so will *easily* give us several
things that we do not currently have:

	Anonymous CVS
	Web browsing of CVS
	Commit email
	Mailing lists with automated administration and archiving
	The ability for all of us to update the project web site

As a demonstration, I have created a mlton project at SourceForge.  I
already set up most the above:

A project home page

	http://sourceforge.net/projects/mlton/

The MLton home page
	
	http://mlton.sourceforge.net

Anonymous CVS
	cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.mlton.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mlton login
	cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@cvs.mlton.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/mlton co test

Web browsing of CVS
	http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mlton/

Mailing lists
	http://sourceforge.net/mail/?group_id=50419


It was quite easy, and I think the move would be very beneficial for
the project.  Any thoughts?
