It'd be nice if the Windows editor allowed you highlight a block of SDL and
then Comment/Uncomment it with a single mouse click.  I've got that facility
in the MS Development Environment and it's a real boon.

That seems like a good idea to me.
While your waiting you might want to record your own macro to do it.
I think the following would probably work in a rudimentary sort of way:

  Highlight your text then start the macro recorder
  Do a 'Ctrl - X' to cut the highlighted text
  Type '/**/'
  'Backspace'  2 characters and
  Do Ctrl - V to paste the text,

then stop the macro recording and assign it to a key of your choice.

Regards,
Chris.

You beat me to it.. I was thinking about this idea too! :) Of course, 
commenting/uncommenting is something I do based on declares usually, 
sometimes it's just easiest to do a temporary comment/uncomment by 
highlighted and a few clicks...
