I guess (50 to 100 modules) x (500 to 2500 locs) x fudge factor x language factor with fudge factor = 2 to 4 and language factor = 1 for eg Python; 5 for eg C++ i.e. minimum 50 klocs (Python) which is what i wishfully think; realistically probably closer to 5000 klocs C++ that's of course for the prototype which may or may not bootstrap. however, the devil's in the data (you're on the money there, Mark) and more importantly the architecture and algorithms.
