   How we handled the comments on the asm to asm translation was put the   
   whole sourceline into in our case a C statement // comment with enough   
   parsing information to tie it as well to the generated code. A filter   
   (In our case a compiler pragma) reprocessed the listing line. It could   
   have been done with a small post processing program quite easily.   
      
   It proved quite workable.
