This is how I do it: select the lines I want to comment and ask Emacs to
comment that region.  It is the same command and method for "n" different
languages and I don't care if there is multiline comment support or not. 
It is really as fast as inserting /* and ending with */ (in fact, I type
less than to achieve that since I only use three keys, counting the
Ctrl-Space to start the block).
