[fpc-devel] Compiler message colour scheme

[Kirinn]

The feature request was here: https://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=37331

It's magenta because GCC etc use magenta for warnings too. Actually, for 
those of us with white terminal backgrounds, yellow text would be hard 
to see, while green, red, and magenta appear quite well against both a 
black and a white background.

I hope a new FPC release happens sooner rather than later; colored 
output is really nice to have.
