  I am looking for a program which detects similarities between/among C 
  programs, and can be used to detect cheaters.  I am just too busy and
  lazy to reinvent the wheel,  so I hope somebody out there has something
  interesting to share.  I am thinking of a line-counter, keyword-counter,
  identifier-counter, loop-counter, etc combined together into a unique
  program that provides a <degree of similarity>  among programs.  Maybe
  there are more sophisticated ways of detecting cheaters I am not aware of.
  Any help will be appreciated.
