Ditto. According to http://www.stack.nl/~marcov/buildfaq.pdf (section
1.2.5), bootstrapping from source is vain.

It is a Haskell program, named pas2c, bundled with hedgewars. See
<https://hg.hedgewars.org/hedgewars/file/tip/tools/pas2c>. AFAIU, it
turns ".pas" files into ".c", and the build process compiles those. IOW,
it looks good enough.
