Well above wc call is a bit unfair. To achieve the attach/detach
feature for processes in a portable way (at least for BSD/Linux)
you will need to use CPP heavily.. Measuring the code with
sloccount tells, that it consists of 818 SLOC, which is rather
small for the functionality it provides (though I bet it can be
done much smaller).

I think most #ifdef stuff checks for the macro BROKEN_MASTER
which could be simplified...
