Interesting! We could remove the "test-suit" directory and we 
could tell it to only parse "D" language files which will give us 
more "clean" results. "cloc" is actually what I use and for 
DragonFlyBSD, it gave me the same number "OpenHub" gave so I 
really wonder how other source code or languages have different 
results...
