[MonoDevelop] Ported SharpD Editor

[Iñigo Illán Aranburu]

I have been playing with it a little bit now, I must say it seems
interesting but It feels heavy on my computer, even without systax
highlighting. The scrolling and selection of text isn't as smooth as it
should. I would like to see the Pango port of the editor as I think it
should gain some speedup. Also, I don't think as the Cairo port a must,
because it should be already using it through System.Drawing.

P.D: I don't know how strong is your background on Pango but I suggest
you to read some of the problems the first attempt of a port of the
SourceEditor had like the described here
