Well... it's possible in SuperPatch, which runs on platforms where DLLs
don't make sense.  But it won't be in 3.5, or in 4.0.

If we just used the patch I sent to Chris back just before I joined the 
POV-Team, it'd be built on the fly by the Windows support code and sent to 
the Codemax handler.  It's currently hard-coded in the Codemax support DLL.  
But we won't be using that patch, so that's not how it will work.

Don't worry, it's not intended to be cross-platform; this is a Windows-only 
thing, for a Windows-only editor. You may continue to use pov-mode.el syntax 
highlighting.
