Writing major modes is actually fairly easy.  However, If I recall
correctly, we have some approximation to the generic-x library (but it
may not be called that) available somewhere, probably in edit-utils,
which does exactly what you want: you derive a mode from it (one macro
call with easy-to-use arguments like the name of the new mode) and add
font-lock keywords to get the desired highlighting.

I'll take a look in a day or so, I'm buried this weekend, unfortunately.
