 I'd like to put a temporary hold on getting my patch committed.  I need to
 decide which would be the best way to allow SciTE to know which version of
 Scintilla was installed.  I also am waiting to hear back from SciTE's
 developer about whether or not it relies on Scintilla being built with the
 same version of GTK.  I'm also going to see if gtkscintilla is a port that
 is still usable or if it's become outdated.
 
 Thanks,
 Naram Qashat
