Jason has suggested adding the ability to install/uninstall ANSICON so
that would take care of the registry setting.
I only look at the envvar to determine if I should provide coloured output.
One issue though, running php.exe via Windows run dialog (i.e. NOT at
a command prompt), will not load ANSICon as php.exe provides it's own
console window which isn't the same as loading the shell to run PHP.
MAYBE ... combining PHP with ANSICon COULD be a solution? Maybe an
php_ansicon.dll extension.
