why not build a native compiler?  translating to c seems such
a waste.  oberon (especially wirth's current iteration) is tiny.

unfortunately, i don't think either approach would be more
useful than a c compiler for the oberon system.   too bad.  i'd
still give it a big thumbs up as a student project.
