The syntax highlighting is provided by the GtkSourceView library. To add
a new language you need to create a .lang file and drop it
in /usr/share/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs (or if you don't have
access there you can also add it to ~/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs).
The .lang files are xml files describing the syntax. Unfortunately there
is no documentation yet on how to create such files, but creating one
should be pretty straightforward if you look at the other files as
examples.
