Subject: [RFC/PATCH] gitweb: Syntax highlighting support

From: Jakub Narebski <[email-masked]>

From: Johannes Schindelin <[email-masked]>

It requires the 'highlight' program to do all the heavy-lifting:
http://www.andre-simon.de / http://wiki.andre-simon.de

This is loosely based on Daniel Svensson's and Sham Chukoury's work in
gitweb-xmms2.git (it cannot be cherry-picked, as gitweb-xmms2 first
forked wildly, then not contributed back, and then went stale).

[jn: cherry picked from bc1ed6aafd9ee4937559535c66c8bddf1864bec6
 in http://repo.or.cz/w/git/dscho.git, with a few changes]

This is a RFC, because there exist other syntax highlighters that can
function as filter (take input from STDIN, and write result to STDOUT),
and have (X)HTML among supported output formats.  Beside 'highlight'
by Andre Simon, there is also 'source-highlight' (GNU Source Highlight),
and probably other programs.  

It would be nice to be able to configure which program to use.  The
question is if it should be configurable in per-repository basis, or
there should be global (per gitweb configuration) highlighter, while
highlighting can be turned on and off in per-repository basis.

The list of supported extensions is widened, but I see that I fotgot
to include syntax highlighting for Perl.

Compared to the version in Dscho repository, it makes gitweb do line
numbering by itself, instead of making 'highlight' do it... and then
rewriting it to conform to the rest of gitweb.  We should probably
leave tab expansion to gitweb, so that 'blob' view would look the same
with and without syntax hightlighting enabled.

Note that gitweb.css contains default 'highlight' style, but perhaps
other style would be better fit for deafule gitweb CSS.

WARNING: No tests!

Have fun playing with it!
