if nobody says nothing more against it then, I'll leave it as it is,
since I really like it :-)

hmm, it's already done. In configure.in:

PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTKSOURCEVIEW, gtksourceview, have_gtksourceview=yes, have_gtksourceview=no)
AM_CONDITIONAL(HAVE_GTKSOURCEVIEW, test x"$have_gtksourceview" = "xyes")
GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS="$GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS -DHAVE_GTKSOURCEVIEW"
AC_SUBST(GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS)
AC_SUBST(GTKSOURCEVIEW_LIBS)

if not found, GTKSOURCEVIEW_CFLAGS|LIBS would be empty, AFAIK, so it seems there
is something wrong in your auto* stuff, I guess. Have you tried re-running
autogen.sh?

Anyway, please install gtskourceview (gtksourceview module in CVS), or you'll miss
the syntax highlighting. although, first, please try to compile and run without it,
to make sure it works without it.
