Forking NEdit [was:Backlighting ... + split underline ...]

[Scott Tringali]

I don't see any need to fork the repository, unless you really don't 
like SourceForge or CVS.  You're welcome can do an experimental branch 
right here.  Nobody's asked, though.

Or, if you can put it right into the mainline if someone actually steps 
up to put a full release together.

It would be nice if that included other non-Linux platforms such as AIX 
or Solaris, but I realize almost nobody is interested in that these 
days.  (I actually think ignoring those platforms would be the thing 
that likely kills NEdit, as on Linux there are a zillion 
GTK/GNOME/KDE/Qt snazzy editors to pick from.  Not so on others.)

The problem I see is not lack of interest in coding features, but a lack 
of interest in doing the release engineering.
