one interesting thing about that example is that if it were done again
for the Plan 9 environment, mk might well be even smaller, since
some of the existing functionality isn't really used,
or might be achieved by simpler mechanisms, or with functionality
added instead by further composition with other programs;
alternatively, it might be redone in a radically different way.
either way you probably wouldn't get an entire O'Reilly book out of it though.
