Re: Crossfire on HP9000 (fwd) / and inventory naming

 well, the original discussion of XCOMM vs C comments got started because
on some system, using the C comments doesn't work (it leaves blank lines
in the Makefile, which make then does not like).

 However, if R4 does not support the XCOMM, then it would break some
systems to use that (however, this may not be relevant, because we
probably do not want to limit ourselves by keeping backwards compatibility
with R4.  However, enough systems probably still run R4, that we might
as well keep it for the time being.
