Allin,

due to my very limited familiarity with gtk I know little about that 
region of our source code (and even that little I'm not sure I 
understand).

I'm sure there are very good reasons to use an in-house version of 
gtksourceview, but generally speaking, there are many advantages from 
linking to an external library; could you please explain what the 
disadvantages are in this case?
