Great! That is in fact almost exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
very much for the hint!!!
Working on a MacBook Pro (OS X Lion) and using Aquamacs (GNU EMACS) with
ESS I can confirm that it runs on Mac just as described for Unix in
general. Pretty Cool although - as you already mentioned - colouring
depending on conditions is not implemented yet.

I'll send an e-mail to the author, whether he thinks the library can be
developed in that direction - don't know too much about the technical
details of the shell unfortunately. But that may change ;)
