OK, I tot it.  I am using KDE4.10.5.  I have ~/.kde4/share/apps/kate -
no dir /katepart
/kate has 2 subdirs  /plugins and /filegree.  plugins has 3 subdirs none
of them named syntax.

I took a look at the screenshots.  Pretty nifty, It's essentially a
different script for the same language. I'd like to see it in kate, but
the screenshots suffer from poor resolution and as they are zoomed they
loose their value.   What is the maximum resolution?  In any case it's a
remarkable idea, Gustav.
