4.3-030 - fails to build on older HP-UX

[H.Merijn Brand]

4.3-030 builds and runs fine under HP-UX 11.31 and 11.23 (after some
very small edits) but fails HP-UX 11.11, 11.00 and 10.20

The first reason is the use of C++ style comments in the source.
The fix is easy. Just use plain ANSI comments. Old(er) ANSI C-compilers
do NOT recognize // as command (an IMHO they should not)

The three files that ought to be fixed are

 lib/readline/colors.h
 lib/readline/colors.h
 lib/readline/parse-colors.c

The next issue is harder to fix. These three OS's do not seem to have
easy detectable wide-char support, which ends up in this failure:

cc -L./builtins -L./lib/readline -L./lib/readline -L./lib/glob -L./lib/tilde 
-L./lib/malloc -L./lib/sh -L/pro/local/lib -s -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/lib/X11R6

/pro/local/lib/libiconv.a
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Unsatisfied symbols:
   is_basic (first referenced in ./lib/sh/libsh.a(casemod.o)) (code)


The last issue is building 64bit version on 11.11:

ld: Unsatisfied symbol "__strtoull" in file ./builtins/libbuiltins.a[printf.o]
ld: Unsatisfied symbol "__strtoll" in file general.o

as on 64bit build strtoull does not exist, as strtoul already *is*
strtoull (likewise for strtoll vs strtol)
