Well, you pass for an expert in my book.  Here is a new line for comment face:

("\\(\\*[^;\\*/]*;\\)" 0 'font-lock-comment-face t)

I think with my new found knowledge, I might also be able to handle places with
string expansion.  E.G.: "blah &foo. blah"  Should have read for the constant
string but (say) blue for the stuff inside "&."  My mode currently has red for
the whole string.
