this is syntax highlighting I take it

I'd like to see this use the arbitrary highlighting interface which I'm still 
working on.  Currently in the middle of bidi porting, but it's next.

I think we need a custom widget below lines interface.  So far, I know of two 
apps, kcachegrind and kdbg, which use their own text widget so they can 
annotate important information line-by-line.  This would show up the custom 
widget below each line, and be toggleable with a shortcut within katepart.

Also, an information overlay interface would be nice, eg. so you can have 
better short documentation popups when over a function, and again the 
appropriate shortcut keys.

I have a feeling that the cursor interface will have to be tweaked (public 
interface class, private implementation class) - i don't know if i can get 
the best smart cursor interface happening as is.  But we'll see... plenty of 
time to fiddle.

Cheers,
Hamish.
