I'm tryin to use regexp to replace multi-line c-style comments  (like /*  this 
/n */ ) with /n (newlines).
I tried someting like   re.sub('/\*(.*)/\*'  , '/n'   , file)
but it doesn't work for multiple lines. 

besides that I want to keep all newlines as they were in the original file, so 
I can still use the original linenumbers (I want to use linenumbers as a 
reference for later use.)
I know that that will complicate things a bit more, so this is a bit less 
important.

background: I'm trying to create a 'intelligent' source-code security analysis 
tool for c/c++ , python and php files, but filtering the comments seems to be  
the biggest problem.  :( 

So, if you have an answer to this , please let me know how to do this!

thanks in advance,
- Alex
