The packages I maintain total a little over 1 million lines of Ada, as
per SLOCCount; i.e. not including blank lines or comments, and not
including other languages like C or Makefile.  The largest packages
are gnat and GPS (300 kSLOC each), GtkAda (90 kSLOC), ASIS (85 kSLOC),
GLADE (78 kSLOC), AWS (55 kSLOC), etc.

In addition, gnat-3.3 and gnat-3.4 contain some 700 kSLOC which I have
not counted in the "one million" figure, because I don't support these
versions of GNAT.
