Re: comment and IBM xlf

I don't think it's going to work even if you find a way to run cpp
before compilation. My undersdanding (with regard to Fortran) is that
essentially, all cpp does is adding or removing peices of code (written
in Fortran) based on what instructions you give to it. So even if you
run it on your code, it won't remove all c-style comments - that's just
not what it does.
I see three options for you:
1. add ! to /*comments*/ using a utility like sed.
2. Use libgetkw. I've just come accross it, so I am not sure how it
works, but it seems to do what you need.

3. Remove or comment the c-style comments in the fortran way.
