    Hi,
    I'm trying to do some development with cmake (http://www.cmake.org) and I have defined some keywords and rules via user defined language procedure as descirbed by the docs. Since cmake is becoming a widely adopted make generator tool(KDE started using cmake not long ago), and there exist language definition for vim, kate and emacs, among the others. It seems like only scite does not have the cmake syntax rules and keyword list. Anyway, how one can add new language to npp, but not via user defined language? I mean this is kind of feature request, but better yet a plea. Would UD language xml file help one of the devs in implementing the cmake rules? If you guys are busy, how can i add a language in npp, if you are interested in this kind of extension? I'm not mutch of a programmer, but I'd do as best as I can...
    Best regards,
    fantaz

      In the next release (v4.1), cmake will be supported.
      The RC will be available on next weekend (on the 22th April).
      I'll *try* to include *CMakeLists.txt* in the next release for those who want to compile Notepad++ project with MinGW, but I promise nothing.
