I tried the package found at
http://cedric.bosdonnat.free.fr/wordpress/?p=103
However it's an old package and gives an exception when trying to install.
The source code for the extension is available at
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/ooo-build/trunk/extensions/coooder/
so it could work again if someone can try to repackage it for LibreOffice.

It would be good to have a syntax highlighting extension for Libreoffice.
The basic functionality for the highlighting is done using an existing tool
such as
http://www.webresourcesdepot.com/11-syntax-highlighters-to-beautify-code-presentation/
(Coooder uses GeSHI).
