You could probably turn this into an interesting blog post. + What subsystems does each project have? How do LOC stack up on a per-subsystem basis? + Do they have different dependencies? + Does LOC have the same meaning in the two projects, or are there stylistic differences that meaningfully alter line counts? + Are statically linked binaries similarly sized? So, it looks like you have the right question. You just need to do the digging.
