One of the nuisances in porting Dos/Windows code to Unix is that gcc
expects traditional `/* ... */' comments and most newer Dos and Windows
code uses `//'.  What is needed is either a minor extension to gcc in
future releases or a Unix utility that scans all text files in the current
directory and converts comments.  For the record, such a program takes
about 38 KB and uses the `dirwalk' code in Kernighan and Ritchie "The
C Programming Language, XX Edition".
