I have always found it funny (in a geeky sort of way) when an emulator or
hypervisor is built (compiled) from its source code. It's sort of circular.
A bit like writing a compiler without having a high-level compiler to start
off with... or implementing a high-level P/L using another P/L (e.g. C and
Java in MATLAB).
Best wishes,
