[vlc-devel] [patch] per default disable, colored console messages on windows

[Mark Moriarty]

I wrote an ifdef patch yesterday, tested it this am, just committed it.
The patch I committed is for Windows, as the help output is written to a txt
file.

There is an alternative solution which is the use of ncurses's
has_colors() function. Hence we could automatically detect if your current
terminal supports text color. Because I am sure there are some colored
terminal even on windows.
