make language options translatable
better error/warning output when parsing language files
improve loading of files with corrupt encoding (partially loading into read-only file)
remove synchronous calls from blocking code-paths in the filebrowser code
implement some sort of highlighting color theme so bluefish is also usable on dark themes without changing each and every color manually
better mimetype / syntax linking GUI, like the GUI proposed for win32
margin settings for printing
allow folding blocks in the print output

show color, when mouse over an color code (#000000)
