TextWrangler/BBEdit use 'codeless' text modules, which are XML files
containing the specs for a given language. No SDK or compiling
required. They're documented in Appendix-C of the TextWrangler manual.

I've got a working version I can post here if people want - the only
thing that doesn't work is 'function definitions', probably because all
those begins and ends get a bit confusing (ie. 'end' is used in several
ways, not just to end a procedure/function).

SubEthaEdit (SEE) uses different terminology for their 'Language
Modes', although they're still defined in a set of XML files. SEE is a
bit more flexible in that it allows you to define different types of
keywords, with different highlighting - eg. System Procedures, System
Procedures, Library Procedures, Library Functions, etc. TextWrangler
just recognises a single type of keyword and only one style of
highlighting. However, for some reason I can't recall right now, I
never liked SEE much, and preferred TextWrangler.

I have working versions of the language modules for both programs,
although they're probably not 100% up to date. Let me know if you want
them, and I'll work out how to post them to the list...
