Probably the easiest way to do this would to get mdb, when it gets this option,
to add something to the environment variable MERCURY_OPTIONS to tell
mercury_wrapper.c and through it the I/O initialization code in the library
to get stdin from the named file.

I'll look into this tonight; should be simple to add.
