GNU global extension to support other languages

What I found missing in the GNU global was support for more programming languages, natively very few are supported (maily C, C++). I have just found a plugin (global pygments plugin) which is doing very smart job using Pygments (a syntax highlighter for Python) to extract tags. This means that any language supported by Pygments (there is a lot) can be used also with GNU global (and with GGtags - in Emacs!).

Installation is pretty straightforward, just follow the procedure (I have additionally built a .deb package with checkinstall), create .globalrc (eg. sample provided is working well) - and that’s it.

For the moment I use this with Python - works great.
