arrgh... probably I can figure this out if I had enough time, but gonna to
invest into presentation now. If you/someone could give a hand, would be
great :)

This is a nice one! Two problems: it does not count/recognize R; did not
see how to use it to see the dynamics (what was there in repo 2 years
ago?..)

But I like that even without the R code counts (which is 148,000 lines),
for ~65,000 lines of mostly C/C++ I get the message indicating that GenABEL
is worth few millions of dollars:

Development Effort Estimate, Person-Years (Person-Months) = 15.44 (185.24)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Person-Months = 2.4 * (KSLOC**1.05))
Schedule Estimate, Years (Months)                         = 1.05 (12.61)
 (Basic COCOMO model, Months = 2.5 * (person-months**0.38))
Total Estimated Cost to Develop                           = $ 2,085,323
 (average salary = $56,286/year, overhead = 2.40).

So I think I should use these figures in my presentation :)
