Hey all you guys -- thanks for the tips.  It's been great, I tried
htmlfontify and htmlize and both produce excellent output.
I couldn't have imagined this was so easy (though to my surprise
googling for this doesn't bring the emacs solution that readily).

Finding out new features like this on an application that's been under
your fingertips for years makes emacs and its extensionability (phew)
a gem.

Thanks again y'all!
