Description:
The backup code uses C++ comments '// some comment' in its C code modules (*.c,*.h). These comments must be change to C-style comments '/* some comment */'. This is needed to help product development build the MySQL code for platforms that have stricter C compiler enforcement (do not have C99 turned on).

How to repeat:
Code inspection.

Suggested fix:
Change all '// some comment' to '/* some comment */' in all C modules.
