[TxMt] Fortran asterisk comments

[Dougal]

Not sure about the rest of it (I'm pretty unfamiliar with language
grammars), but you'll definitely want to try escaping the asterisk;
you'd probably be good with "^\*" instead of "^[*]". (You might also
want a \s* -- any amount of whitespace -- between the ^, which means
start-of-line, and the \*, to allow for whitespace before the
asterisk, if Fortran allows it; I don't know, never used it.)
