     5 Pas2C is intended to be used when building the engine natively (e.g. with !FreePascal) fails for some reason. However, Pas2C does have some limitations and you should try to first build Hedgewars normally before attempting a Pas2C build.

     7 Pas2C is our hand-written Pascal-to-C-compiler. It works by converting all Pascal code to C, and then compiling the C code. Yes, we're a little crazy. :-)
     8 Pas2C is our hand-written Pascal-to-C-compiler. It works by converting all Pascal code to C, and then compiling the C code with a C compiler. Pas2C itself is written in Haskell. Yes, we're a little crazy. :-)
