Adding Color to the Console: Round 2: Highlight vs. Pygments vs. Source-highlight

A month ago I compared the Pygments and Source-highlight packages for use as a syntax highlighting tool. A commenter pointed me toward another package called Highlight. So let's compare those three, based on the same criteria as last time:

	Pygments	Source-highlight	Highlight
Debian package	python-pygments	source-highlight	highlight
Dependencies	Python	C++, Boost	C++
License	BSD	GPL 2+	GPL 3+
Input Languages	136	30	143
Output Languages	~11	~6	~9
Styles	16	5	40
Performance test	6 min	64 sec	67 sec

So for interactive use, it looks like a pretty close call between Source-highlight and Highlight, unless you need one of the additional input formats supplied by Highlight. It appears that Highlight supports SGML files out of the box, unlike the other two, which could make it interesting for me.
