Description

ultraviolet (http://ultraviolet.rubyforge.org), by using TextMate's syntax files, is able to support many more languages than what the current syntax highlighting engine does. And it seems to remain in active development.

On the downside though, it comes with quite the heap of dependencies of which one, Oniguruma, requires native compiling.

So I guess the goal would be to keep both the current syntax highlighting engine intact, while optionally using ultraviolet if it's available.

This would bring redmine PHP syntax highlighting, for example.

I'll try and have a look into this - no promises though (/me is a rails noob).
