 /*
  *  Fix CTRL macros
+ *
+ * Basically, what is supposed to be happening is that every
+ * _invocation_ of the "_CTRL()" or "CTRL()" macros is supposed to have
+ * its argument inserted into single quotes.  We _must_ do this because
+ * ANSI macro substitution rules prohibit looking inside quoted strings
+ * for the substitution names.  A side effect is that the quotes are
+ * inserted in the definitions of those macros as well.  So, the last
+ * three sed expressions are supposed to clean up the definitions, as
+ * long as those definitions are using "c", "g" or "x" as the macro
+ * argument :).  Yuck.
