Stumbled on a ready-made solution quite by chance. This plugin (link
below) was designed to give syntax highlighting of code using
quicklook. To do so, it first has to create a working UTI for IDL --
which this plugin does.

http://code.google.com/p/qlcolorcode/

I didn't bother with the additional files for highlighting etc,
spotlight indexing was enough for me. Install as directed. A manual
import of IDL files [1] followed by a log out/in (or perhaps vice
versa) did the trick.

-John Mardaljevic

[1] mdimport `find . -name "*.pro" -print`
will index IDL files in the current directory and all those below.
