Nice work guys!

I tried it out on the ./doc/asciidoc.txt file which pretty well makes
use of all AsciiDoc syntax. Worked well up to:

         acute accents to the right\'' are rendered in quotation marks.

At which point all text following the two single quotes was blue (hit
^L to refesh and fix).

- Is there any reason for adoc instead of asciidoc? Personally I
   prefer asciidoc rather than creating another name. I'd also prefer
   to stick with the existing .txt extension for AsciiDoc source files.
   Surely there are ways to have Vim automagically detect file types
   other than just file extensions?

- Is it possible to highlight the whole of the title (not just the
   underline)?

- It would be nice to highlight the various block delimiters.

Great stuff though and I'd be really keen to put it in the next
release once you're ready to release it.

BTW I had to :set ff=unix and write the file on my Linux box else I
got the following errors:

Error detected while processing /home/srackham/.vim/syntax/adoc.vim:
line    3:
E492: Not an editor command: ^M
line    4:
E15: Invalid expression: version < 600^M
line   76:
E171: Missing :endif


Cheers, Stuart
