preprocessor/5416: Need flag for cpp to allow fortran comments

[Matt Fago]

Using cpp with g77 is abusing cpp? I hope not!  I can certainly use sed, 
but I had hoped it would not be necessary in the future. BTW, suggesting 
that people use c-style comments in Fortran code seems silly, and would 
be difficult in my case even with sed.

As for nixing the change ... ok, I certainly don't know the details.
