Hi,

I'm working on the javascript interface[1], and my mentor gave the idea of implementing syntax highlighting.

In order to do that, I was thinking of using gtksourceviewmm. Is it possible(desirable) to add this lib to Inkscape? Should I keep the version without the lib, and then use some ifdefs and a "./configure" flag to choose between the two?

It's probably possible, but you'd need to check what version you require and whether it is widely distributed enough. It wouldn't be my first priority though (although that obviously depends on how much javascript editing you want to do from within Inkscape).

Also, I've tried including the lib, but I couldn't figure out where to add it in autotools.
