+Description:
+
+I provided a non-hook implementation of exnName (at the toplevel) and
+made the "dummy" implementation of exnMessage (at the toplevel) more
+useful: if nothing gets "hooked in", then at least you are going to
+see the exception name and a message indicating why you don't see more.
+
+[For the time being, programs that need exnMessage and want to use
+ml-build should either use General.exnMessage (strongly recommended) or
+refer to structure General at some other point so that CM sees a
+static dependency.]
+
+[Similar remarks go for "print" and "use":  If you want to use their
+functionality in stand-alone programs generated by ml-build, then use
+TextIO.output and Backend.Interact.useFile (from $smlnj/compiler.cm).]
