Well, I hate LaTeX, but if you can use some sort of Plain TeX
equivalent, the TeXsis macros use the following:

%==================================================*
%  COMMENTS.
%
% Use \comment to turn most anything into nothing (must have balanced {}!).
% Usage:
%   \comment/* <text to be ignored> */      % the /* and */ are required!

\long\def\comment#1/*#2*/{\endcomment}  % lets you do stuff afterwards
\def\endcomment{\relax}                 % but for now just do nothing
