No, a BCPL-style comment. C supports them since 1999,
but many compilers (including Visual C and gcc) supported
them long before the standard was passed.

Excellent! They are a tad more readable, a tad more compact,
and quite a bit easier to type.

If you have troubles on DeadOS, preprocess with this:

sed 's^//.*^^'

If need be, this can be added to the Makefile as part of the
preprocessing step. It can run immediately prior to the
C preprocessor. Probably you just need a compiler option.
