   Hello,   
      
   A compiler which can compile itself is definitely a nice feature, but   
   this is surely not a must have. There are compilers out there which   
   don't even understand their source language, i.e. a compiler for   
   languages Foo and Bar but the compiler itself is written in C.   
      
   But I would agree that a compiler written in Foo and understands Foo   
   should be able to compile itself. This is a really nice test.   
      
   Cheerz,   
   Roland
