Hi,
So ajax is pretty much dead on the money, but the other thing here is
the scale:
daniels at tempa:~/src/linux-2.6(cfb2bb9...)% wc -l **/*.[ch] | tail -1
 11114827 total
daniels at tempa:~/x/xorg/xserver(master*)% wc -l **/*.[ch] | tail -1
  569393 total

Not to mention that we already cut out all the drivers, so the remains
are only core code.

Cheers,
Daniel
