Issac, I don't want them to be off by default too. The "original" idea 
came from
the gcc-color wrapper, but now I see that it has gone from gcc. Probably 
it has
caused more complaints than it was helpful.

If you are willing to write a short test script that simply prints a few 
colored messages, ask the modperl users on various platforms/terms to 
run it and figure out a colormap working everywhere. If we find one that 
would be great!

For now we will turn the colors off by default and you can enable them with
APACHE_TEST_COLOR env var in your ~/.profile or equiv. Since you will 
miss the color you will remember to set this env var :) Others new to 
2.0 will find this option in the docs.
