Somewhere in config's of X11R5 has been said

	#define XCOMM #
:)

But in X11R6 this is build-in, due the some preprosessors
do not think this way is fun.

I don't either prefer the use of XCOMM's, because I feel
the C comment are sufficient. The directory Imakefile's
should keep so simple that there are no need to very
descriptive commenting. The complexity should be put into
/config's files.
