This, for me, represents the chicken and egg problem. You provided me a c 
compilation of Slate, so I compiled with the c compiler I already have... but 
if in time, you will only provide a bunch of slate code which is 
self-compiling, where do I get the first slate to compile it ?
Ok, you can provide me with a compiled Slate so I can start from there... what 
if, for some reason, the compiled Slate you provide doesn't work on my 
architecture/computer ? The only solution I find is that someone has to start 
coding Slate so it can compile (cross-compile in fact) itself to the other 
platform. Am I right here ?
