Re: dark theme

For some reason this didn't come through to my mailbox so google groups 
might be being weird again.
I do have such a lookup working in my own configs (in my dotfiles) but it 
does require a bit of work to get it going as I had to implant luarocks 
into scite but it all works out of a normally compiled SciTE via the Lua 
startup script interface.
