editor settings list

[Jeroen Zwartepoorte <Jeroen xs4all nl>]

Hi,

Although there's still a fatal bug somewhere in either my config code or
in bonobo, i don't want to stop developing the config stuff.

I've drawn up a list of editor settings which i think would be useful to
put in the Editor Settings dialog. Some of these settings directly come
from the Scintilla API, others from the Editor Options in JBuilder 4.

I personally don't have any experience with vi,emacs etc. so i don't
know if these options are also representative for those editors. 

Since the GUI is based on bonobo-conf, libglade cannot be used here. I
do plan to create a prototype GUI using glade and then have it generate
C code and copy & paste that (saves a lot of work).

Please comment and provide feedback.

Thanks,

Jeroen
