[FEATURE REQUEST] CMake and Colors

[Allen Winter]

Hi CMake Devs,

Perhaps this should go direct to your project mailing list, but since I know you are here....

There has been quite a number of folks asking for the colorful output that unsermake used to have.
The colors were much, much less than what colorgcc[1] provides.

I think this can be done easily in the build.make files... where you print "@echo Building ...." instead
you'd print  "Building" with the appropriate escape sequences for a color (green).   Same kind of thing
for "Generating" (blue) "Linking" (yellow), and "Installing" (cyan).  Oh, and in bold too.

I'm sure the unsermake devs on this list can help provide the right escape sequences.
But you can find them in kdenonbeta/unsermake/utilities.py.

I hope you will consider implementing this request in your next cmake release.

Regards,
Allen
