Here is a quick report from sloccount-2.04. It might look better if you use a 
fixed width font.

Now I don't claim that is how much work it took to make Ethereal - the tools
used, programmer skill, and the nature of the code all affect this. Plus its a 
metric estimate based on a lot of older projects.

For comparison, the kernel and the main parts of KDE are both between 3 and 4 
million lines. Ethereal 0.9.8 has 374,623 SLOC, Bind 9.2.2 has 229,029 SLOC
