Replace the call to addPortletLink with HighlightCommentsJsHighlight()

Where would I find that call?

Replace

    // Create and add the menu item or tab
    HighlightCommentsJsSwitch = addPortletLink("p-cactions",
        "javascript:HighlightCommentsJsHighlight()", "Highlight",
        "ca-highlightcomments",
        "Toggle highlighting of your own comments on this page");

with

HighlightCommentsJsHighlight();
