Nested comments (was Re: This one bit me today)

[Tom Neff]

In particular, a nested-comments compiler might louse up the common form
of optional configuration defines:

	/* #define SYSV /* set this for System V */
	#define BSD4_3 /* set this for BSD 4.3 */
	/* #define VMS /* set this for VMS */

etcetera.  It was a species of cuteness to capitalize on such comment
strangeness in the first place IMHO but now we're in bed with it.
