well, pacman's code has a high quality i think. it has a homogenous
style, the indentation is clean, etc. i started c programming on linux
with MPlayer and.. well if you want to see ugly code then just have a
look at mplayer.c :-)

also - pacman is a small project. you can read it's full source during a
single afternoon. most projects has a much wider codebase and you have
to spent days just with reading the source

(for example i recently wanted to hack bitlbee and i had to realize that
i have to learn the whole glib event handling first.. - pacman does not
use any such complex external lib, another reason for choosing pacman as
your #1 c project :) )
