pygments lexer for ABAP syntaxhighlighting

Yesterday I submitted a patch to the pygments bugtracker with a functioning lexer for ABAP. I hope that it'll be included in the next release.

A little example and the first public piece of ABAP code that has been highlighted with pygments.

REPORT z_hello_world.

PARAMETERS: gv_name TYPE text50.

WRITE: 'Hello', gv_name.

The lexer currently has one little problem. If you define a variable with the same name as an ABAP keyword, it'll also highlight that variable. Maybe I'll get around to fixing that, but that'll be quite a task since that means parsing every ABAP statement and not just highlighting the keywords.
