Yes, sir, there is no cgg.  I've been told by ast that the ACK is
HUGE, and the compiler-compiler is a significant fraction of that;
i.e., prob'ly way too big to fit on a PC anyway... 

On the other hand, if you're masochistic, the intermediate-code ("EM")
IS fully documented in the manual, which means that if you want
you're perfectly free to hand-code your OWN code generator... 8-) 8-)
