I have the pleasure to officially release (hoping for official
integration in Scintilla) a lexer for the AutoHotkey language
<http://www.autohotkey.com/>. There is a forum thread on the subject (if
you are interested by release notes) at:
http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/topic9656.html
The source file is available at:
http://file.autohotkey.net/PhiLho/LexAHK.cxx
The related .properties file is at:
http://file.autohotkey.net/PhiLho/ahk.properties
The needed changes to Scintilla are:

LINK_LEXER(lmAHK);
This language is a derivative of the original (v.2) AutoIt language,
itself inspired by batch files and some old automation language.
Hence the quite quirky syntax, enhanced by some improvements (expression
support). It can displease seasoned programmers (that's the reason for
the v.3 of AutoIt) but it seems to please non-programmers ("Wow! No need
for these ugly quotes around strings!"...).
This lexer is a work in progress, some enhancements need to use back
tracking, but it is already functionnal, I use it daily.
