The latest version of source-highlight, 2.1.1, builds and runs on  
MacOS X 10.4.2 on my PB. With the help of Gregory Wright, we have  
sketched a solution for building source-highlight such that it only  
depends on Apple supplied libraries (i.e. statically linked to the  
boost regexp library). An easier solution, and this is my proposal,  
is to use an user-installed version of source-highlight (we can point  
interested users to DarwinPorts or Fink) instead of providing its  
binary inside the TextMate application bundle. After all, TextMate  
already depends on other binaries for some of its extra  
functionality. What do you think? Updated versions of the "Source"  
commands could test for the availability of source-highlight,  
instructing the user how to get it if not installed.

Cheers,

Paulo
