medit the text editor

Started originally as a simple built-in editor component in GGAP, it grew up
to a real text editor.

The intention now is to make it a useful programming and around-programming
text editor.

Features
* Configurable syntax highlighting.
* Configurable keyboard accelerators.
* Multiplatform - works both on unix and windows.
* Plugins: can be written in C or Python.
* Configurable tools available from the main and context menus. They can
be written in Python, or it can be a shell script, or in MooScript -
simple builtin scripting lanugage.
* Regular expression search/replace, grep and find frontends, builtin file
selector and whatnot.

Required/Optional deps: PyGTK and Gamin, both available at slackbuilds.org
- Both PyGTK and Gamin add very useful functionality to medit, it is
recommended that you install them.
- PyGTK is auto-detected, Gamin is not. If you do not wish to have Gamin
support then remove the '--with-fam' line from the medit.SlackBuild
before building.
