Plus, considering #include, the number of lines of source in the project is 
not the number of lines you have to compile to compile the project. This 
project had include files with tens of thousands of lines (hell, 4000-line 
individual macros) that got included in pretty much every source file, as 
well as all kinds of nested hierarchies of include files that included who 
knows how much extraneous stuff by the time you were done. I've written 
serious programs shorter than some of the compiler command lines in that 
project.
