Brent has very kindly given me CVS access to the shootout so I've uploaded my 
OCaml, MLton, C++ and Java implementations of the ray tracer. In all cases I 
chose the fastest implementations under 100 LOC (according to the shootout's 
LOC count). As this was my first commit I didn't change anyone else's 
submissions. Out of interest, I added the shortest of all my implementations 
as well - 57 LOC of OCaml (OCaml #2).

The results look good though, my MLton #2 is the fastest, followed by my OCaml 
#3, thenmy  g++ (original) and Simon's Fortran. Does the shootout 
automatically take the fastest implementations or should I rename things?

The Java didn't run because it uses a JDK 1.5 command. I'll fix this.

I put the standard comment header at the top of each program. Are these ok 
regarding licensing?
