Pretty darn hard actually. The lexer is part of wxWidgets, and is a
generic SQL lexer. We have to write our own (probably clean-room
style, because of the licencing). I was toying with doing that anyway,
as it would be nice to have it understand plpgsql and pgscript, though
I have zero time for it unfortunately.
