Notepad++ IDL Syntax Highlighting? [closed]

Question

I was about to create a user-defined language file for Notepad++ to syntax-highlight IDL (Interactive Data Language). But before I went and spent the time creating one, I wanted to check with the "community" to see if anyone else has one that's ready to go.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
