Support for Eiffel language files (.e .ecf)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The Eiffel language files use extension .e which is supported by Highlight.
The EiffelStudio project configuration files (.ecf) is not yet supported by 
Highlight but is plain xml 
(I've informed the author of Highlight about this issue).
There exists no UTI yet for both (searched www.eiffel.com with no success).
Smultron.app is capable of opening and syntax coloring .e files, but contains 
no UTI for it in its 
info.plist .

I've added this to my copy of qlcolorcode's info.plist:

        <dict>
            <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
            <array>
                <string>public.source-code</string>
            </array>
            <key>UTTypeDescription</key>
            <string>Eiffel source code file</string>
            <key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.eiffel.source-code</string>
            <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
            <dict>
                <key>public.filename-extension</key>
                <array>
                    <string>e</string>
                </array>
            </dict>
        </dict>
        <dict>
            <key>UTTypeConformsTo</key>
            <array>
                <string>public.xml</string>
            </array>
            <key>UTTypeDescription</key>
            <string>EiffelStudio project configuration file</string>
            <key>UTTypeIdentifier</key>
            <string>com.eiffel.eiffelstudio-project-config</string>
            <key>UTTypeTagSpecification</key>
            <dict>
                <key>public.filename-extension</key>
                <array>
                    <string>ecf</string>
                </array>
            </dict>
        </dict>

Update:
André told me that he will add support for .ecf files in the next version of 
Highlight.
As a workaround until then, he suggested me to edit filetypes.conf by adding 
'ecf' to the line '$ext(xml)= ... '.
As i have seen, qlcolorcode uses its own filetypes.conf. I've made the 
modifications there and it works now 
properly for .ecf files.
