If we run into a true problem, then we can just convert
the comments to C and call it good. Most platforms either
use GCC or have C++, though. If it boils down to one obscure
platform, I'll just make a .c.o rule that strips the comments
out. The lex program to strip them is a few lines of code,
whether we do it permanently or on-the-fly in a .c.o rule,
so its hardly worth worrying about.
More pressing issues with using non-gcc are likely going
to be the asm() statements. We can macro-ize the use of
these, but I'm not sure how capable the asm interface
are on other compilers. GCC is wonderfully capable.
