OK, I've posted next generation on SF's patch page (patch number 1742781):
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=41136&atid=429862

Here are some open problems:
1. I've not check its work under mod_perl so external highlighters
probably are not callable(according to comments in execute_command{}
of Codestriker.pm).
2. I've tried to use some other external highlighters
(http://www.andre-simon.de/) but they are not linewise;
3. Highlighter processes could stay in memory after block highlighted
so mod_perl (even if not run into first problem) is probably not the
best choise for use with highlighted codestriker.

All these problems came from the need of linewise filtering; lines are
being rendered one by one. To avoid these problems we should render
all the lines in a block at once. By passing several line to external
highlighter at once we could increase number of programs we work with.


Comments are welcome.

Yours,
