Internet bandwidth is expensive, not LAN bandwidth. Even in countries
where computer infrastructure is expensive, the office LAN is relatively
cheap, and lets face it, the vast majority of developers are likely
to be connected to a LAN, not a WAN.

cscope works on extension. Yes the directory structure I was looking
at was ancient. You can scratch that negative off the list.

Feh ... you should see some of the crap I have to deal with here :)
Hairy code doesn't scare me. But I think it CAN be done realtively
simply. Granted I havent examined ALL of the wc code in detail. I
plan on doing that over the next few nights.

I volunteer.

That'd be a pity if it can be demonstrated to work.

That makes sense but may be too destabalising for 1.0.
