I just discovered that cmake uses a string compare to the term name to
figure out which support color. I don't think thats the correct way, but
ok.
There are several tests. First it detects whether stdout is attached to
a windows console (Windows only of course). If so, it uses console text
attributes to do color. If not, then it detects whether it is attached
to an interactive terminal using the "isatty" function. If so, it
determines whether the terminal supports color by looking at the TERM
environment variable. This approach never prints color escapes when
they are not supported, but may not always print color when it is supported.
Maybe rxvt-unicode could be added so ?
We've now added "screen", "cygwin", and "rxvt-unicode".
