OK.
I have not yet completely understood how to do that.
I try to put a ml_bind.ML file in my library folders.
But I do not manage to refer to it from another code folder. Seems tricky about 
the files locations (shall they be given a full path?).
Would you have a small example of how to do that?

I mean smlnj-lib.

Actually, since my question yesterday, I found this very interesting page:
http://www.tbrk.org/software/poly_smlnj-lib.html by Timothy Bourke

Following the advices there allowed me to quickly get the smlnj-lib working.
Except that I do not manage to add it to the basis directory of polyml (did not 
find a way to correctly add it in the build.sml file).
