Looks trivially harmless ;-)

I haven't touched this part of our system, but the patch makes me
wonder if there is a way for us to _ask_ the installed 'highlight'
binary what languages it knows about.  This hash is used only in
guess_file_syntax sub, and it may not be unreasonable to populate it
lazily there, or at least generate this part by parsing output from
'highlight -p' at build-install time.
