Unfortunately a non-trivial amount (about 15k lines), and not simple
code either - it's pretty tightly written, and it requires an intimate
knowledge of the internal workings of the Zend engine. A number of
people have looked at it in the past and decided it was way beyond them.
I don't expect there would be many people capable of writing anything
similar (which is no doubt why Zend hired Dmitry away!).

Cheers   :-)
