[fpc-devel] Compiler message colour scheme

[J. Gareth Moreton]

I believe that to enable colour on a Windows console, you need to use an 
API function, which can get a bit clumsy because there isn't an 
equivalent to \e[0m to reset to default, so you have to retrieve the 
current console colour beforehand.  Windows 10 /might/ accept the ANSI 
escape sequences, but I'm not sure.
