HI all,   
      
   What is the importance with a compiler that is able to compile itself?   
   As far as I can see from my limited wisdom, it is not a requirement   
   and perhaps does not even prove anything substantial about the   
   compiler? I mean, a C/C++ compiler may be written in Java and so will   
   at most be compiled by a Java compiler, and vice versa, right? Also,   
   assemblers do not assemble themselves for the most part, and XSLT   
   transformers do not transform themselves either.   
      
   Just curius.
