I very much like the idea of colorized warnings myself. One thing I have hated about some command-line tools that allow colorized whatever is that they don't provide enough flexibility about changing the employed color scheme. For example, the colors to use on a white-on- black scheme are different than what would look good on a black-on- white scheme, etc. One possible solution is to allow users to specify colors via an environment variable.
Another detail that would be nice to automatically handle is when the user redirects compiler output to a file. In such cases, users rarely want to see the ANSI escape sequences (or whatever) including the logged output.
