It is only listed for Mousepad-0.4.0, which has also listed

for keeping it, long ago.
Any reason for not archiving, please?
I can confirm that it will build and work with
gtksourceview-3.16.1. Just tested it, built and functioned
without problems.
The description for gtksourceview says it highlights syntax source
code. I use vim for that, but does mousepad do syntax highlighting
of c source code without gtksourceview?

It's a text editor widget, not just for highlighting. If the package
is to be archived, the mousepad can't be built with GTK+2 support,
thus forcing users to use GTK+3 even if they do manage to build
Xfce4 without GTK+3 at all.
As far as I know, it's the only decent GTK+2 editor still available
in the book (Bluefish is GTK+3, Emacs ... no clue, and probably too
complex to be considered by many).
I'd suggest leafpad as a simple gtk2 editor.

No syntax highlight, just a very bascic text editor.
For advanced neeeds, I'd suggest geany, which features native syntax
highlighting and tons of other features for serious progamming work.
