MSys' cat does support colors even when I run it from cmd.exe.
I've looked at sources for cat on mingw.sourceforge.com and (as
expected) there is no code to handle esc-sequences.
That would be insane - too many utilities like ls, diff, cat, less
etc. do that. So there is obviously a library for this.
I've tried to "parse" makefiles for cat, but they are so huge and I
know about gcc/make on Unix so little that I was unable to find the
secret sauce.
I've also asked this question on MinGW list so I'm waiting for reply.
