Thinks are coming together. The "synctex" branch now has the new
settings "highlight duration" and "source editor" to control the
SyncTeX behaviour. Also README, manual page and online help got updated.

Please report any issues you find. Best regards, Adam.

P.S.: This also means that the settings "synchronizeProgram" has been
renamed to "sourceEditor".
