DECUS C is kind-of a funny case. Whereas most C compilers are
traditionally maintained and distributed as C source code, DECUS C
is distributed and maintained in PDP-11 assembly language.
For other C compilers, a significant milestone was when they were
rewritten in C and compiled themselves. DECUS C is the odd guy out because
it never tried to reach this milestone. In some sense this is a good thing,
because it lets you build it on a machine without any access to any C compiler.
