Trying to font-lock between parenthesis

Hi,

I'm trying to do a major mode for MPC(*) files. Before doing anything complicated I want MPC files nicely colorised. An MPC file may say something like:

   project(optional name) {
     includes += ${PROJECT_ROOT}/src
   }


I want "optional name" coloured differently than the other elements. I've tried this:

   ("\\(\(.*\)\\)" 1 font-lock-constant-face t)


But the regexp is wrong as the enclosing parentheses are including in the colouring to. What regexp will let me choose the text between the parenthesis but not the parentheses themselves?


Thanks a lot in  advance,
  jules
