No, that's a different one. The "is_header" stuff is not merged for
0.8.0, but on the main trunk only; the former discussion let me assume
you don't want that for 0.8.0. If you want it, I'll go figure if I can
pull it out separately.

It does not matter if we like // comments or not, real-world compilers
(Sun WorkShop, various cc implementations) don't like them, and we
cannot possibly dig up switches for every (im)possible compiler out
there to make it eat // without choking. I can name two more compilers
that I have not tested for // acceptance: HP-UX's ansic (flags unknown
to me ATM) or c89 and Solaris 1.x's cc (needs -B in CPPFLAGS). Let's not
make our users file support requests for operating systems we don't test
on.

Oh, go put your head and hands into a bucket of cold water, that
alleviates the itch. SCNR ;-)
