As far as I understand it is not possible to produce static or dynamic
libraries from MLton today, only executables.

I would like to be able to produce these and then be able to link them with
other code and use the exposed functions.

I have found this archived mail of someone trying to create a patch to do
this back in 2008, but I guess it stalled.

Let's say one in the first case limits the api possible to expose from a
library to function who takes a tuple of C primitve types. This should be
easily mappable one-to-one from C to SML.

I have some questions:

1) Would anyone else be interested in such a feature?
2) What requirements would the MLton runtime put on the consumers of such
libraries?
3) Would someone with deeper insight into MLton, be willing to help on the
high level design and guidance of how to achieve such a feature?

Have a nice day - Morten
