[Gtk-sharp-list] gtksourceview-sharp: GetLanguageFromMimeType

[Todd Berman]

Im only responding to this just to say that this seems to be a known
issue, and im really confused as to why this .custom hack was removed
before a suitable fix was in place.

I'd rather see an occasional null pointer reference than a constant
breaking every time.

This has caused some issues for MD users, as they are unable to update
their gtksourceview-sharp because of this, and we need to have this
fixed soon, beacause when we release a 0.1 of MD it will require a
sourceview-sharp release.

I am willing to roll gtksourceview-sharp into our tree and build it into
our build dirs, but I think that kinda was against the point of an
established gtksourceview module (one place, one location for
fixes/optimizations).

This really should be fixed one way or another soon.

please ;)
