I've been using this under Emacs for a while, and haven't experienced
any tool-related problems with colorization.

I *have* generally objected to adding settings like this in
buildout.cfg: some of us (including myself!) think it makes the output
harder to read.

The only "right" way to deal with this seems to be to either:

- require users wanting color to ask for it from the command line, or

- add configuration support, so this can be set per-user, rather than
polluting buildout.cfg for everyone.
