[MLton] Windows ports and paths

So much hassle for such a lame function...

While we're having so much fun with OS.Path on Windows, I just 
discovered another strange thing that had escaped me before: in the 
description of validVolume it says that "" is only a valid volume under 
Windows if the path is not absolute. Now, this would effectively rule 
out paths like "\b\c" or even "\", i.e. every absolute path had to 
contain a volume.

Anybody's got a clue what that could be about? Do they really mean it? 
It is contradicted by the example given in the last paragraph of the 
introduction.
