Hmm, are you comparing _source code_??? What's the point in that?? Using one
letter variables and function names will make source files smaller but what's
the point comparing those? If using C you can replace many conditionals with
a:b?c syntax etc. And voila: you have to most unmaintenable code ever seen. And
how about tabs, spaces, carriage returns, pre-calculated arrays...

I think you really want to compare executables. I while ago I made a assembler
chess program which really played chess  but the source and executable are not
on my computer now. I'll get back to this later.
