I am looking for a way to automatically format program listings for
inclusion in LaTeX documents.  The ideal solution would be the
TeX/LaTeX equivalent of vgrind, a program that formats listings using
troff.  For those of you not familiar with that program, some of the
more interesting features are:

	keywords appear in boldface
	comments appear in italics
	other tokens appear in roman
	indentation of the original program is preserved
	ability to define your own language (in a separate file) and
		use that file as a guide to formatting

The result of all this is that the program comes out looking "nice",
like the example programs in intro textbooks.

So, does anybody have a solution to formatting programs?  Either a
completely automatic system (like vgrind) or a good set of macros or a
LaTeX environment would be helpful.

Please reply by e-mail.  I'll summarize to the net if interest
warrants.
