BBEdit/Textwrangler LCM for livescript

[Peter Haworth]

Hi James,
Thanks for all your work on this.  Unfortunately, the grouping of keywords
doesn't seem to work in TextWrangler.  Only string literal are colored now
and there are no extra color preferences.  Not really surprising since
TextWrangler is free.

Maybe I'll have to give BBEdit a whirl, although the lack of folding is a
big minus for me.
