I don't think it is lines (cr/lf) that is of interest to everyone. Some 
peaple want the number of Ada Constructs used. They would also like 
these grouped into meaningful categories (executive, declarative, full
line comments, in-line comments, blank lines ect...). Even though I fill 
in general most should still be able to write a program to do this , I 
don't think it whould be productive. I have the ability to write a 
compiler; but no doubt would rather have one purchased rather than use
a home grown one.
