One of the most boring, frustrating, boilerplate bits of code about
using scite is setting up lexer styling. I've thought for a while that
it'd be nice if we had a standardized format for setting these styles,
perhaps even with some stock dialogs, and a module in wx that had
working and reasonable pre-defined styles for at least the most common
lexers.
