As I understand it, Pygments is only required for syntax highlighting.

While that's useful to many/most, it seems a bit heavyweight - so it'd be nice if Pygments was optional.
(Seems like implementing that should be fairly simple - only I'm not sure how best to declare optional dependencies in `setup.py`.)

(From a [Unix perspective](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy), it be nice to have syntax highlighting as a separate tool, so one could do something like `cat http | highlight`.)
