Note the C++ -> C comment conversion is only done if the comment appears
within a macro, and only with -CC. I'm not sure it's really worth worrying
about too much, though maybe a warning about various C++ comment pitfalls
should be added to the -CC documentation.
I'll try to cook up a patch for the docs soon (quite swamped with about
5 "top priority!!!" things right now).
