You might not like colours, but I do :) Very handy if you have
terms open to lots of different computers.
Tweak that to your heart's content. Beware of how this works... it
is well documented in the bash(1) man page, but there is a real
trick to getting the extra colour codes in there properly "escaped"
(with \[ and \]) so that it doesn't give any hassles with long
command lines.
