Show source comments in output file

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There's no comments output, no I don't joke !

A quick exemple to understand, in sample.t2t :
% a secret comment!
should become, in html.sample :
<!-- a secret comment! -->

I think we may add an other comment tag, which could insert comments like this 
into the target, but if a "secret comment" with % is exported into the target 
by default, it won't be secret anymore because it's possible to see the source 
code of a html document!

It's also easy to use a preproc to change the default behavior, such as:

%!preproc(html): '^%(.*?)$' ''<!-- \1 -->''

Comments in txt2tags source code were always meant to be viewed in the source 
only. Sometimes it's a message, sometimes it's a huge block of deactivated 
text. But it's not meant to be in the converted document. Users rely on this 
behavior since version 1.0.

Eric's solution is fine, but need to be improved because it can mess with 
macros like %%date at the beginning of the line.

Yes, creating a new mark for this kind of comment in output is one alternative. 
Another is a setting that user can put in a file by file basis (or the global 
config), like %!showcomments or something.
