Replacing C++ comments with C comments for ANSI conformance

I'd rather we just change the file to be C++.  Since none of the supported platform builders get angry about C++ comments, it's likely a better long-term strategy.  We do, of course, need to make sure to mark the functions exposed to SQLite as extern "C".

Please direct any reviews to me for this code.

both GCC and MSVC accept this non ANSI conformant C code, even with --pedantic
I can add "-qcpluscmt" in CPPFLAGS in Makefile.in or compile in C99 mode.
