[ANN] Introducing Pygments Plug-in Parser

Hi all,

Let me introduce the first release of Pygments Plug-in Parser for GNU
GLOBAL.

https://github.com/yoshizow/global-pygments-plugin

This is a plug-in parser for GNU GLOBAL.
Uses Pygments to extract symbol tags. Pygments is a syntax highlighter
written in Python.
This plug-in supports wide variety of programming languages thanks to
Pygments.

This software can also use Exuberant Ctags for collecting definition
tags as well as symbol tags. By combining both tags information, this
plug-in can generate both definition tags and reference tags.

I have developed this software for the following purposes.

- To support wide variety of programming languages
- To generate reference tags (ctags doesn't do this)

Using Pygments for source code indexing is a bit hacky, so there are
some limitations.

- Not work well with some programming languages (e.g. CoffeeScript)
- Much slower than gtags built-in parser or ctags plug-in parser

If you are interested in this software, please check and give me
feedback.

Best Regards,
Yoshitaro Makise
