Phew..now its fixed. Changes to the datastructure was necessary, that
explains why the data in debug output was _very_ strange.

I took some days off (long needed vacation from regexp), because of the
wierd debug output and a possible datastructure change in sight. While
being on pseudo-vacation I made a simple syntax hiliter. Many years ago
I made one in pascal, for pascal, where I had draw complex state
machines on paper and later implement them. Yesterday within few hours I
had made a relatively nice Ruby2html syntax hiliter, by using regexp.

I have attached the code for the syntax-hiliter.. it doesn't have any
dependencies (except for Ruby).
