The simple way is to redefine misc_command_line. If I recall well, this
is only present in the cvs version, in the previous version the api was
more complicated.

I have added an init file in test/layout/ignore_and_comments_output.init
that put @c and @comment lines in comments and also @ignore blocks.

Maybe this could be in the maintained_extras stuff, since in xml and
docbook the @c and @comment lines are already output as comments.
