MLton/MinGW installer improved

[Wesley W. Terpstra]

I've just finished a fairly major revision of the installer for
MLton/MinGW. There are several improvements:
  * Supports upgrades; previously you had to de-install before upgrading
  * Uses the same toolchain for both 32 and 64 bits (from the mingw-w64 project)
  * Keeps the complete toolchain, i.e. c++, fortran, and java
compilers (previously I only kept gcc)
  * Reduced installer size to 28MB (despite containing some 340MB!)
  * Obviously, it also includes the newest MLton from svn/HEAD

There are two versions of the installer, an msi and an exe. The
trade-off is that the msi is bigger (59MB vs 28MB), but the exe
requires 340MB of temporary space during the install (released upon
completion).

But I didn't find it there (and hence the question)!

I see links to MLton-20091102.msi and MLton-20091102.exe.  They are
posted in misleading place under 200908XX, maybe that's what was
throwing you off?
