[MLton-user] ANN: ml-editline v0.1

[Dave Herman]

Thanks! I'm still working out some basic kinks (dealing with various 
unix signals, mostly, like window resize and sigcont), and compatibility 
with various terminals will probably be a constant struggle. But if 
people start to find this useful hopefully those will be the kind of 
bugs that I can iron out one report at a time.

Re: rlwrap, the reason I did this is that for many programs, requiring 
the user to do *any* kind of additional download/installation step is a 
non-starter. I'm kind of obsessive about making the installation process 
minimal.
