Sadly, this is not enough :-(
I had a version of 'indent' (sorry, don't know which, nor the OS version (it
was SunOS)) that ate some comment from my file.
And I definitely do NOT consider source files with and without comment equal.
As an aside: what does one do when the object files aren't identical?
