After further refinements (e.g. see current Isabelle/79f41fbdf74a), the 
Pure IDE bootstrap works even more smoothly. In particular it can be 
combined with this earlier NEWS item:


*** ML ***

* The ML function "ML" provides easy access to run-time compilation.
This is particularly useful for conditional compilation, without
requiring separate files.


An example for such conditional compilation is src/Pure/System/bash.ML, 
with a Windows and POSIX version in the same file. The PIDE markup works
here as expected -- on the one version that is actually taken.
