KA9Q: Comments in autoexec.net

I believe that, at present, a comment in autoexec.net (and other KA9Q 
files) is defined as having a hash ('#') in column one. 

Would be hard (or memory intensive) to extend this so that anything from 
the right of a hash was considered a comment? Eg:

    start smtp          # Starts SMTP server

I'm trying to tidy up autoexec.net to make it self documenting as far as 
possible, but such a facility would make it a lot easier to do neatly.

(The idea is to create a self-explanatory autoexec.net file which could, 
possibly, replace the existing distributed one. It would remove some of 
the need for documentation if nothing else.)

Mark.
