Hi Ovid, thanks for the brainfood you write that I get to read during my lunch break...

but... am I just off the planet in this - why hasn't someone mentioned Function Point Counting?

http://www.ifpug.org/

It's an industry-recognised metrics technique. Of course it may be that this is a very large sledgehammer for a small nut... but there may be a kernel (sorry) of an approach for you. And yes, this is your client's problem as dws pointed out.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
