Creating Language Plugin not used for new language

[Roland Plüss]

Hi Friedrich,

That helped. The create method is now called. Went on to deal with the
kdev-qt-pg stuff. Still fighting with it since the doc is lacking and
I'm more guessing around trying to figure out how this thing works.
Something still doesn't compile yet but I think it's getting there.
Adding at least some minimalistic documentation would help.
