4This is a simple wrapper for making the output from make easier to read
5(more colorful), and errors easier to find in messy compilations. It was
6inspired by Micheal T. Babcock's excellent logcolorize program.

24Usage
25-----
26
27Type "colormake" whenever you'd ordinarily type "make".
28
29Type "clmake" for the same effect, but piped through "less".
30
31The "colormake-short" and "clmake-short" versions of the commands will
32massage the output so lines do not wrap, but are otherwise the same.
