Well, I don't know if there is a "spec" for these propertly lists and in 
that case for comments. I case we should adhere to it.
I found that in the file there were several accidental wrong 
terminators, which made the file have multi-line comments in practice. I 
fixed that.
If it is not supported a warning or even a graceful exit with a 
termination (like: "comment line expected at N") would be fine.

By the way, regenerating the file gives me a lot of troubles, but that 
is a different question and thread.
