Please, make the patch available, or even better, include that in the
Debian binary. This could help me testing some of the programs I have
developed under The HURD, cos if I don't have color, I can't use them
in the right way...

I've tried colortext, but some programs seems not to work trought
it. For example, mutt fails, ncurses programs too, and the 'ls
--color' also fails... It takes the \n but doesn't do the \r.
