[osg-submissions] Script to generate the Visual Studio syntax highlighting files automatically.

[Jean-Sebastien Guay]

Hello,

For a long time, there have been files in the VisualStudio/ directory which
enabled syntax highlighting for the extensionless header files which OSG uses.
As new headers (osgShadow, osgViewer, etc.) have been added, these have not
been kept up to date. This annoyed me a bit, not for the highlighting itself,
but because if VC++ doesn't recognize a file as C++, lots of useful functions
do not work (navigation from header to implementation, tracing through the file
while debugging, viewing local variable values, etc.)

I created a quick Perl script to generate the files automatically. It generates
the files for VC7, 7.1, 8 and 9 (though untested on 9).

I have also attached the registry files generated as of today, as a convenience.
But perhaps you could run this script in your release script or something? (it's
not that critical if they're not up to date to the minute, but they should be up
to date when releases are made)

The script should be executed from the VisualStudio directory, as it writes
output files to the current directory, though that can be changed. It takes the
base directory of the includes as an argument (../include) and an optional "-p"
or "--print" argument which will cause it to print the directory and file names
as it traverses.

I will soon add generation of the same files for the Express Editions of VC8 and
VC9, because they use different registry keys than the paid editions, but I do
not have access to those right now to check.

J-S
