Syntax Highlighting Text Widgets

[Matthew <matthew mattshouse com>]

I'm an author in a project that could make use of one of the syntax
highlighting text widgets.  So I ask you, my peers, which one is
the best?  My needs are pretty basic:

  I want to compile it in, so no library.
  Neat and Simple are better than fast.
  No deps other than Gtk/glib/glibc2.

If you've tinkered with the various offerings, I'd appreciate a candid answer. 
Feel free to e-mail me if you do not want to offend one of the authors.
