Hello,

Managed to compile Geany after downloading and compiling Cario and
LibPNG manually (the Ubuntu packages kept failing).

Thanks for doing this, it is really appreciated, and its something
special: the first IDE to have official support for ferite.

I've made a few changes in the filetype file:

1. The ferite doc keywords would only parse if you prefixed them with a
   double @ sign, so I stripped the @ signs off, and it worked.
2. I forgot to supply a list of primitives, which are essentially pre
   packaged namespaces:
   XML Unix Sys.env Sys String Stream Serialize RMI RMI.error Posix
   Number Network.Unix Network.UDP Network.TCP Network Math FileSystem
   Console Array
3. The compiler options needed a small change, to be more verbose.

I've attached a copy of my filetype.ferite file, which also contains an
alternative set of colours, so beware.

There is just one thing I'd like to see support for: It would be nice to
treat namespaces the same way classes are.

Oh, and its worth noting that in ferite, comments can contain comments,
so this is actually valid:

/*
* New Comment
* /*Old Comment*/
*/

But that isn't very important.

Thanks again!
