The attached patch adds user permission delete own comments. It shows the delete link whenever the user has this permission and is the auhor of a comment.

The potential problem here is that all child comments get deleted in the process, and site maintainers may not understand and probably won't want this to happen. They probably expect something more like a "This comment has been deleted by its author" type of message to appear in its place, and have all the replies to the comment left in tact.

Raised in a different issue, but belongs here.

IckZ says:
If a user delete his/her comment on a nodetype could it be possible to set this comment to not visible and the nodecreator must commit this? For example a user types a comment on a userprofile and delete this comment. The owner will never know what there stood. (Maybe Spam, Defamations or so)
