The Isabelle2007 release does not know about Poly/ML 5.2 or 5.2.1, so the
"automated settings" machnism falls back on ancient 4.x which still
exepects ML_dbase.

In such a case, one can try to pretend that the newer ML system is
actually 5.1 -- I've done this but there are various incompatibilities.

But on the Linux system, I have Isabelle2007 running quite happily,
using PolyML 5.1 (which also has a similar set of files in the directory
polyml/x86-linux) - ie, it doesn't need a ML_dbase there.

It is indeed easier to use such an older Poly/ML version, e.g. from here
http://www4.in.tum.de/~wenzelm/test/dist-Isabelle2007/polyml_x86-darwin.tar.gz

What is happening here?
