Users that *do* need to use rxvt or SSH should simply disable the

Heh, that almost suggests that the native Windows command.com
support can disable the color without upsetting anybody ;-)


Following my other comment in this regard, another reason that colour in the cmd line tools is less important, is because my impression of the intent of the Windows port (end goal, that is), is that the user will be able to use a Windows GUI front-end to do whatever it is they want to.

And so the GUI front-end will be responsible for implementing the color anyway, most likely through pattern matching and a state machine.
