a) it should be possible, but the result is a C-compiler that generates
ViRAL.  Then you'll have to write Infinitum in C.  I don't think that is
what you want.  I suppose you'd want a new, simpler language (like TBML)
to write Infinitum in.  Afterall, if you write Infinitum in C you won't
need ViRAL at all; you can just compile for the native platform.

b) read the gnu info files that comes with djgpp.
