It is a combination of a layered texture (most of the landscape, 
especially in the background) and Gille Tran's macro where it matters.

The number of particles is variable according to the surfaces exposed. 
So for instance, I added snow to the foreground landscape and that took 
800k particles; the heads got two layers of respectively 15k and 10k 
particles; the fir trees got 50k and the trunks in the foreground got 
two layers of 3k and 5k respectively.

I also used varying values of Size and Thickness.

It was surprisingly easy to work with Gilles' macro (it was, I think, my 
first time) and experimenting with different values for the settings was 
instructive and comprehensible. Parsing and render were pretty fast too, 
with the advantage of faster PCs than when Gilles wrote his macros. :-)
