Is "light development environment" a tool or is the name you use when
using Sublime Text as a kind of IDE?

Speaking for myself I really don't know I'll try sublime text 2, even
if the license
makes me think I may not use it for a long time.

Nevertheless why don't you provide us with your patch?
That way we could at least try it?

I'm not a Sublime Text user so I don't even know how to create a
Sublime Text project in the first place.

On my first try I saw that syntax highlighting for CMake files are not included
in Sublime Text, is this part of your contribution as well?
