CPDIST is a copy command which takes the source filenames
out of a seperate file called 'Distfile' in this doc.

Most people already use sth. like a Distfile to inform others
about the use or type of files in a distribution.
The main idea behind CPDIST was to combine the informative use
of these index files with the ability of copying the files listed
there.

Rich documentation is very essencial and so the author decided
to implement the support of C and C++ like comments in a Distfile.
A C comment is imbeded into a '/*' prefix and the matching '*/'
The C++ comments (also called remarks here) begin with a '//' and
end with the end of the line they appear in.  Have a closer look
on the supplied distfile.
