BTW, setting your syntax-table this way is probably not a good idea because
it will only affect font-locking whereas I suspect that you might want the
rest of Emacs to know about those comments as well (newcomment.el for
example uses the syntax-table (in place of and in addition to
comment-start/end)) so it's better to properly setup your major mode's
syntax-table.

Oh, and David, regarding your mode: do a C-h f looking-at, that will
save you a bunch of buffer-substrings.
