1. What is Mosmake?

Mosmake is what I call a makefile infrastructure for compiling programs with Moscow ML 2.0. The most productive way to think of it is as a makefile generator(1): You write down the dependencies between your SML units in a simple, terse format, and Mosmake will expand them to a makefile fragment that invokes the mosmlc command-line compiler with the appropriate arguments to compile and link your program. (If you have tried to hand-write `Makefile's that do this correctly, you'll know that this is not as simple as it sounds. If you haven't, just trust me).
