     well, the original discussion of XCOMM vs C comments got started because
    on some system, using the C comments doesn't work (it leaves blank lines
    in the Makefile, which make then does not like).


So you do something like

#ifndef XCOMM
#define XCOMM #
#endif

:-)


Wait... what make on what system chokes on blank lines in the makefile???
That's the silliest thing I've ever heard.
