[lazarus] New Colorizer

[Curtis White]

How about the following:

mwEdit
http://www.eccentrica.org/gabr/mw/mwedit.htm

This was built for Delphi. The author says he wants the Delphi community to
take over development of it. It sounds pretty nice and it sounds like it has
almost everything you need.

Here are a some of its features:

- A study on how to create a custom edit control without using a Windows edit
control
- Multiline edit control
- Thirteen highlighters (ObjectPascal, C++, Perl, Java, HP48, CA-Clipper, SQL,
TCL/TK, HTML, AWK, VBScript, Galaxy, and general)
- Two exporters (HTML and RTF)
- No inherent memory limitations
- Extensible syntax highlighting
- Extensible syntax exporting
- Customisable keyboard commands
- Bookmarks and gutter marks
- Drag and drop

I briefly looked at it and it looks like it is built from a TCustomControl
which I believe we have. So it might not be all that hard to convert it. If
nothing else, it will probably be able to give you some good ideas on how to do
the syntax highlighting, unlimited text, and the gutter with gutter marks. So I
think it would be pretty useful either way.
