Subject: [PATCH] Clean up comments

SPSS programmers have a terrible habit of run-on lines since the SPSS
IDE wraps lines by default.

SPSS programmers also like to include comment characters that don't
actually denote a comment in the working file's syntax. Very common to
see things like

* /* comment */

or

* // comment

While vim is also rather unique in its choice of comment character,
there's no need for the #s.
