It would be nice to support at least the CGA color definitions which I=20
believe wscons supports. I like the fact that on x86, I get normal=20
messages in one color combo and kernel messages in another (usually=20
varying with the kernel; I like color coding :-) ). I would like it if the=

wscons driver for macppc eventually supported that. :-)
