Don't see it in the open PR's (or in options(4)).

The more capable i386 console looks good -- it's white on black with green
and brown and a few other colors thrown in -- but I prefer black on white
on the Mac, too. The colors you get on the Mac are kind of a crap shoot
-- twenty-four bit color on my 840 AV gives me a horribly unviewable purple
on black -- so I'd welcome an option to nail that down.
