> how did this got so bad?

I don't check that lib, however, I can image why?

I'm facing same problem now, duktape.c which is more than 3.5MB (about 100,000 lines).
This netsurf project aims to cover as many OSs and CPUs as possible, which leads
to many many #define lines, and #if define() lines...

On the other hand, Plan9 doesn't consider so, only support itself.
Then, mkfile or compilers are very simple and quick.
However, if we take this approarch, we must write our applications by ourselves.
The 2nd edition of Plan9 got this approach, and had many simple applications,
which was more than 20 years ago...

We can have two lines of way now...
I think porting applications are neccessary now, because it's only application and
it's ok if it works.   However, for libraries, we should kepp the concept of Plan9.
So, we should keep the difference between ports and contrib?

How do you think?
