Yep, I second that - I've spend too much time getting it to work on 
various architectures. Of course those compilers are stupid, but we
can't do much about it and I prefer not relying on flags to enable C++
style comments since those might change or not even be present on some
old compilers...

Through trial & error I've found gcc/g77, IBM's xlc/xlf, SGI's cc/f77 and
the sun compilers to cover most cases of stupid compiler behaviour :-)
