Nice ptr. Clearly shows what was meant by lightweight, sufficiently
objectively that we can say, snort is no longer lightweight:-).

The paper says "Snort is well suited to fill these roles, weighing
in at roughly 100 kilobytes in its compressed source distribution."

snort-1.9.0.tar.gz is 1.8MB; snortrules-current.tar.gz is about
100KB these days.
