+ Description:
+ 
+ Added mechanism for re-creating a heap file for the interactive system
+ after configuration variables have been changed.
+ 
+    CM.redump_heap : string -> unit
+ 
+ This is much like SMLofNJ.exportML, but starting from the resulting
+ heap does not return to the caller of CM.redump_heap but 
+ restarts the interactive system from scratch.  The original call of
+ CM.redump_heap does not return but ends the interactive session.
+ Thus, CM.redump_heap is a lot like SMLofNJ.exportFn.
+ 
+ Internally, redump_heap winds the dynamic execution context back to
+ the point where the original heap image was created and re-executes
+ the heap image generation code in the boot code.
