- What's end-comment-column?  Sounds like comment-fill-column.
- It seems the language allows both //...\n and /*...*/ for comments, but the
  comment-start-skip does not reflect that.  And it should also define the
  corresponding comment-end-skip.

- Also it should not (require 'font-lock) and neither should it call
  (turn-on-font-lock).

- The call to easy-menu-define should be at toplevel rather than inside
  vera-mode.  And then the call to easy-menu-add should refer to
  vera-mode-menu rather than vera-mode-menu-list (which could be inlined
  into the call to easy-menu-define and then removed).

- The calls to modify-syntax-entry should not be at toplevel and neither
  should the (setq vera-mode-syntax-table (make-syntax-table)).  Best is to
  move it all inside the "defvar vera-mode-syntax-table" in the usual form
  (defvar vera-mode-syntax-table (let ((st (make-syntax-table))) ... st)).
