Counting the number of lines is only meaningful as a relative measurement
of complexity and spent effort - IMHO. And I think lines of code
measurements usually ignore blank lines and lines with
comments. However, Preprocessor directives is code - and sometimes it would
be fair to add some extra lines for the increased complexity caused by cool
CPP macros ;-)
