Summary:

     Improvements to language processing tools and installation  
procedure.
     Other minor bugfixes and enhancements.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--

installer:
     - now handles the new ml-lpt-lib.cm

     - there is now a new "library installer" that can be used
       by shell scripts

SML/NJ library:
     - UTF8 structure and signature (from Moby) added

CML:
     - UTF8 structure and signature exported

runtime:
     - added functionality to "shift" command line arguments
       (like /bin/sh's "shift" command)

CM:
     - during startup, while processing command-line arguments,
       use the new "shift" functionality (see above) to trim
       down the argument list;
       this way one can easily write ML code that (when executed via
       the command line) takes over control and processes all
       remaining arguments;
       this functionality is utilized by the new library installer

     - CM plugins for tools (e.g., ml-burg, ml-ulex, ml-antlr) now live
       within their respective source trees and are installed
       by the library installer

language processing tools:
     - manual is up-to-date with the code
     - many minor improvements
     - a few minor bugfixes
     - added support for stream created from several kinds of sources
