I was in the process of cleaning up the commentrss module queue I recently taken over and realized I should rather collaborate here to get comment rss support into views instead of coming up with something custom for commentrss in Drupal 6. Following on discussion with Earl, here come a simple patch for comment rss output.

- The issue I see with this patch is that it generates a list of comments in the feed accessible to anonymous even though I don't have permission for anonymous to 'access comments'. Not sure how to fix this.
- Also, it would be great to have a 'In reply to @node_title' at the top of the description text as recently implemented at commentrss. Not sure how to go about it, what to require, how to join the node in.

This patch works for comment feeds as-is already in my testing.

I think there's 2 things this needs:

1) A default view for comment RSS (disabled by default)
2) A way for feeds to 'attach' themselves to things that aren't displays. In this case, 'node/%'. Which is harder than it sounds. The actual attaching part is easy; the logic to decide when a view should attach and trying to make it performant, however, is a little bit less so.
