Hi,

additionaly to what Bert said:

to summarize _my understanding_ again: there is source, there is just no ascii 
representation of the source / you cannot compile the source to binaries. 
Because the source comes as blobs (being the VM in it's state), which can be 
edited inside the virtual machine it represents. 

In theory squeak can be bootstrapped, in practice not.

(Hence, there is a chicken and egg problem. (For non squeak developers. Squeak 
developers are used to this and happy about it.))


regards,
	Holger
