Don't you think that all major modes should support M-;? There are easy ways to do that. The doc strings says (comment-dwim arg) Call the comment command you want (Do What I Mean). If the region is active and `transient-mark-mode' is on, call `comment-region' (unless it only consists of comments, in which case it calls `uncomment-region'). Else, if the current line is empty, call `comment-insert-comment-function' if it is defined, otherwise insert a comment and indent it. Else if a prefix arg is specified, call `comment-kill'. Else, call `comment-indent'. You can configure `comment-style' to change the way regions are commented.
