+medit the text editor
+
+Started originally as a simple built-in editor component in GGAP, it grew up
+to a real text editor.
+
+The intention now is to make it a useful programming and around-programming
+text editor.
+
+Features
+ * Configurable syntax highlighting.
+ * Configurable keyboard accelerators.
+ * Multiplatform - works both on unix and windows.
+ * Plugins: can be written in C or Python.
+ * Configurable tools available from the main and context menus. They can
+ be written in Python, or it can be a shell script, or in MooScript -
+ simple builtin scripting lanugage.
+ * Regular expression search/replace, grep and find frontends, builtin file
+ selector and whatnot.
+
+Required/Optional deps: PyGTK and Gamin, both available at slackbuilds.org
+ - Both PyGTK and Gamin add very useful functionality to medit, it is
+ recommended that you install them.
+ - PyGTK is auto-detected, Gamin is not. If you do not wish to have Gamin
+ support then remove the '--with-fam' line from the medit.SlackBuild
+ before building.
