New issue 1229 by pekka.klarck: Support ANSI colors on console output also
on Windows
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1229
Our console colors use ANSI colors elsewhere than Windows where coloring is
handled using Windows APIs. Being able to use ANSI colors also on Windows
would be handy because many tools, for example Jenkins, can color the
console output they show using them.
I decided to implement this so that --MonitorColors option gets new value
`ANSI`. On Windows that will both enable colors (regardless is stdout
redirected or not) and force coloring to use ANSI colors. Elsewhere than on
Windows this is basically an alias for the current `ON` value.
