P.S.: If you can get access to a copy of John Reppy's book "Concurrent
Programming in ML" (Cambridge University Press, 1999, reprinted with
corrections in 2007), chapter 7 presents an extended example of a
software build system. In addition to the other interesting features of
the problem domain, it provides an example of controlling external
programs in Concurrent ML style.
