That is checked in to solve bootstrapping problems.  You can't generate 
it without a working parser, and it is the parser you need to generate 
itself.  Thus, we check it in so you can bootstrap a build, and use that 
to create a new copy of it. ;)

Pardon the top-post stuck with OWA at the moment. I thought it might have been a bootstrapping issue, but wasn't certain.

Thanks Eric,
