Yes that sounds a lot nicer. Also if one gave a relative path to the script 
then this could be taken from where the GPATH database files are found. Then 
that would mean you could have a config being used by a number of different 
projects and also would work when you do a global -u as that needs to find the 
databases from anywhere in the project and it might as well use that same 
location for the hook script. Thus a generic config along with specific hook 
scripts and databases per project.

In reference to:
        1 - Existing langmap style extension list e.g. `.c.h'.
        2 - File only glob pattern e.g. `([Mm]akefile)'.
        3 - A mixture of the above two e.g. `.c.h([Mm]akefile)(*.inc)'
        4  - A dumb path substring match (possibly with the caveat that it must 
start with ./ or / to distinguish it from the above?) e.g. '/include/'.
        5 - A bare name of a file containing a list of filenames  e.g. 
`cppfiles'?
What were you thinking of supporting in --force-language then?

By the way I'm going away on a source code analysis and comprehension workshop 
for maybe up to two weeks and so my access to my business email may well be 
limited, so please don't think I'm ignoring you (although you'll probably be 
glad of the peace and quiet! :-)).

Regards,

Tony.
