Programmer's Notepad 2 lets me map an extention *or* a filename to a syntax 
highlighting profile. But I agree, it's still easier to just use an existing 
extension. I suspect it's partly a just buildsystem tradition, and partly 
because it's not very common to use/need a buildscript with a name other 
than the standard one.
