What about modifying GNU a2ps (http://www.inf.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/)
or code2html (http://www.palfrader.org/code2html/), which already
implement syntax highlignting for a number of languages ?

a2ps especially has support for an impressive list of languages
(http://www.inf.enst.fr/~demaille/a2ps/sheets/).

Maybe the author would be interested in modularizing the output layer
so that other formats (ie. docbook) than postscript could be produced.
I CC the a2ps list.
