This series add support for the color parameter in iproute2 configure script. The idea is to make it possible for iproute2 users and packagers to set a default value for the color option different from the current one, COLOR_OPT_NEVER, while maintaining the current default behaviour. Patch 1 add the color option to the configure script. Users can set three different values, never, auto and always, with the same meanings they have for the -c / -color ip option. Default value is 'never', which results in ip, tc and bridge to maintain their current output behaviour (i.e. colorless output). Patch 2 makes it possible for ip, tc and bridge to use the configured value for color as their default color output.
