I use "ifdef" or "ifndef" with a label that I *know* is undefined (not used
anywhere else) and describes the block of code you are commenting out:

;  #define SomeLabelThatDescribesThisBlock  ;un-comment this line to enable
the block of code
  ifdef SomeLabelThatDescribesThisBlock

    code goes here
     ...
    more code
  endif

You now have 2 choices: remove the ifdef and endif around the block or
simply remove the semi-colon at the front of the #define line.

I'm sure that there are other techniques but this is what I use.
