Do you have to install the bootstrap-binary? Or can you just run it from the directory you are using to build? If you don't have to install it, then it can just be one of the things you download as "source" for this project. Fink would then use this bootstrap-binary to create a complete modula3

The fink package-manager can be thought of as a front-end to some of the debian tools. To port it to another unix, at a minimum you would need to port dpkg and apt, and I don't know how hard that would be. Then you could, in principle, run fink there as well, but I'm afraid you'll find there are
