Subject: [PATCH] Greatly improve my 1985/sicherman fix

My original fix that made it not require -traditional-cpp translated
some macros that rather made the entry not look as good by which I mean
it did not look like it used to but now much less is commented out
because the macro is left as is (though in use it is commented out ..
does that mean it's not used or used? :-) ). But now the main() function
type and args looks like it originally did except for one difference. It originally looked like:

    main(C,V)
    char **V;
    /*      C program. (If you don't
     *      understand it look it
     */     up.) (In the C Manual)

and it was changed to:

    main(/*/,('\b'*'\b'>=_|_>'\t'*'\n')
    char **('\b'*'\b'>=_|_>'\t'*'\n')
    * C program. (If you don't
    * understand it look it
    * up.) (In the /*/ /*C*/ manual)

but now it looks like:

    main(/*C,V)
    char **V;*/
    /*	C program. (If you don't
     *	understand it look it
     *	up.) (In the C */manual)

which is much better and much more like the original entry.
