 The quick read I had of the colour code it seems to me that most of
 the support is there we just need to make init_color() work which
 should be a matter of emitting the initialize_color attribute iff it
 is defined.  Probably the hardest bit will be working out what all the
 parameters are for initialize_color, having a look in the terminfo
 database source the escape string was rather impressive.
