"syntaxes: move the rules for Fortran and Povray files down to extra/
Fortran and POV-Ray files are not found on any regular install of a
Unixy system nor in common software packages.  People who want these
syntaxes will have to make a little effort to enable them."

"syntax: move distro-specific files down to a subdirectory, syntax/extra/"


No idea why a little effort should ever be necessary but could someone consider making the necessary changes to have these syntaxes, or at the very least the gentoo one, enabled by default again?
