Subject: [PATCH] Factor out common sub-expression from multi-line-comment
 regular expression.

In two places we look for an (optional) sequence of characters other
than "*" followed by a sequence of on or more "*". Using a name for
this (NON_STARS_THEN_STARS) seems to make it a bit easier to
understand.
