I actually started down the path of writing such an IJ plugin, but found =
while reading the docs that I had to provide an extension for the file, =
as you found with NB.  I suspect there is a way around this, as when I =
actually double-clicked my buildfile, IJ prompted me to bind it to a =
language, which I did (Ruby).  And now I get all the supported-language =
goodness when I edit the buildfile in IJ.

The plugin development documentation for a given IDE can be somewhat =
sketchy and rather decentralized.  I may have missed something.

Sorry to subject you to this, but if the buildfile is Ruby, how do the =
'desc' and 'define' keywords fit into this?
