[PATCH] Choose syntax

[Leonard den Ottolander]

Hi,

Another approach to overriding the automatic syntax type detection.
Using a WList instead of a dialog with a quick_input. Patch is against
MC_4_6_1_PRE.

A few comments on the code:
- The syntax list is refilled on every invokation of the dialog. Another
approach would be to save the list of syntaxes to a file and only update
it when either the Syntax file is updated (either by testing the date or
by explicit user command).

- The syntax list is currently of static length (I hope 1024 entries
will suffice ;) ). Creating and growing it dynamically as the list gets
build would be nicer but I couldn't get that to work yet.

Leonard.
