Looking over the -C stuff, I'm not sure why the switch was added.  The
comment marker (two delimter chars at the beginning of a file) wouldn't
have been legal anyway.  strfile doesn't do anything special and the lines
go in just as normal. IMHO, -C should be removed and the comment check made
unconditional.
