ack support for markdown files

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

I'm suggesting to add support for markdown files (and the variants),
as this format are popular nowadays.

http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
http://fletcherpenney.net/multimarkdown/

The commonly used suffixes are .md, .mkd., .markdown, .mmd, .pdc.

Regards,
Peng

Indeed, I do everything in Markdown these days.  I've added those types to my personal .ackrc.

# Handle .md files

--type-set=md=.mkd

--type-add=md=.md

ack 1.x will not have Markdown as recognized types by default because Markdown is not source code.  ack 2.0 will be different in its approach.

xoxo,

Andy
