I search something which makes sense to compare with the number of our ports, not something which takes e.g. "qt4" and "qt4 includes" as different entities. Yes, I know that even such a number is like apples and oranges, as the "linux base system" consists of packages too, and that the "linux base system" may contain stuff which we have in ports. The idea is to have something which may be useful in rapid-prototyping discussions. Please CC me in replies.
