To be fair, this patch is merely fixing the comment style, rather than 
changing the contents.  Although I wouldn't mind if this line were 
changed, especially as the existing pathname is wrong.

It could be changed to be just the basename of the header file like this:

  * comedilib.h

which is similar to the header comment in comedidev.h.
