Major modes should set comment-end-skip, like they set comment-start-skip,
but since this variable was new in Emacs-21.1 I had to handle the backward
compatible case where a major mode does not set comment-end-skip, so
comment-end-skip is set to an "educated guess" value (based on comment-end
and "\\s>") if not set already. This defaulting is done by
comment-normalize-vars which is called at the beginning of all major
comment function.

Without seeing the "straightforward way" code, it's hard to tell.
