   AUCTeX <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex>

Is there an easy way to get LaTeX-fill-buffer from AUCTeX to ignore
comment blocks whenever they are encountered?

Currently, running it on a file with this header:

%%% This file is part of PlanetMath snapshot of 2005-02-15
%%% Primary Title: order of operations
%%% Primary Category Code: 00A99
%%% Filename: OrderOfOperations.tex
%%% Version: 3
%%% Owner: akrowne

%%% You should have received a file called fdl.txt along with this file.        
%%% If not, please write to gnu@gnu.org.

Gave me a file with _this_ header:

%%% This file is part of PlanetMath snapshot of 2005-02-15 Primary Title: order
%%%  of operations Primary Category Code: 00A99 Filename: OrderOfOperations.tex
%%%  Version: 3 Owner: akrowne Author(s): akrowne PlanetMath is released under

The rest of this function's behavior seems to be just what I want.
