Here's for the current CVS:

  Tree         Files  Fields
  -----------  -----  ------
  10.2          124    183
  10.2-gcc3.3   120    175
  10.3           95    139

That's more than I expected. Would be tedious but probably doable by
hand. A quick script could probably take care of more than half of the
fields first.
