Or something about an infinite number of monkeys working for a finite
amount of time and pounding out some pretty good C code :-)

Let's save Mr. Kusuda a bag of time:

	1) It can be done
	2) Over a lot of time
	3) With a lot of money
	4) Starting from scratch is MUCH cheaper
	5) It's a pretty dumb thing to do anyway
	    (It takes less code to do a project in Ada95 than in C++)
