It's actually only 3000 lines of assembler (less, in fact because
I'm counting lines of dead code). So about 300 lines of C code?
Reverse engineer it in a day or so.

[Having said that, the real problems are things like the NVidia
drivers, which are a heck of a lot bigger than this one and could
take months of reverse engineering work.]
