re: CC Mode 5.28 (Java); The comment fill for auto-fill mode does not work properly when inside Java classes

[John Lusk 4]

This is in response to an ancient post I saw in the archives.  I have 
the same problem.  When I went to the cc-mode project on SourceForge, I 
see they haven't created any downloadable releases past 5.28 (although 
there's plenty of discussion of 5.29 and 5.30 on their list).  Apart 
from the fact that our local sysadmin has cut off the CVS port with the 
firewall, I'm not real enthusiastic about snagging a CVS snapshot.

So, here's a (no doubt crude, brutal) patch for the cc-mode distributed 
w/emacs 21.2 that seems to work for me.

(Hmm.  Dumb ol' Mozilla wants to wrap.  I'll try attaching the diff.)

John.
