New issue 753 by pekka.klarck: Support colors on Windows console
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=753
Currently colors are used only on non-Windows machines. They are assumed to
support ANSI colors which Windows does not support (at least by default).
It seems that we could add support for colors on Windows using Windows
API:s via ctypes. See following blog post and example for some more
information and examples:

Adding colors seem so easy that it should, IMHO, be done in the next
release be it 2.5.6 or 2.6.
