  The kill-comment function has no idea how to deal with a comment
ending on the same line -- it assumes that comments always extend to
the end of a line.

  At the very least, it should barf and exit if "comment-end" is not
an empty string when it is called.  Better would be for it to
understand about comment-end and be able to deal with comments ending
in the middle of a line, comments extending over multiple lines, etc.

  Example of the wrong behavior:

1. Go into C mode.

2. Put the following line into the buffer:

    /*  if ( count == 7 ) printf("ds(%d) ",count); */ ds(count, i,j);

3. put the cursor on this line and execute kill-paragraph.
