Vim supports syntax highlighting in the both the console and X versions
(gvim) . Your version of vim needs to be compiled with +syntax. 

On redhat systems, you need the vim-enhanced rpm. Stick the line `syntax
on' in your ~/.vimrc file and run `vim' instead of `vi'.

Also check out http://www.vim.org/lang.html. They probably got syntax
highlighting for everything under the sun.
