This doesn't work, at least with gcc 3.3.2.  You end up with "/ /"
(e.g. slash space slash) in the proprocessed output.

Additionally, the preprocessor only takes a single pass through the
input, so if this *did* work as intended you'd be passing the comments
through to the compiler, which would presuably emit syntax errors.
