Hello All,

The -msgcolor flag causes ANSI escape sequences to be displayed
in MPlayer output. For example:

$ ./mplayer.exe -msgcolor -ao help
←[0;37mMPlayer SVN-r35712-4.7.2 (C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team

MPlayer version - svn r35712 (2012-12-30 23:35:03 -0500)
GCC version - 4.7.2 (MinGW)
Binutils version - 2.23.1
O/S - Windows 8 Pro

I have a Sherpya build (Sherpya-SVN-r34401-4.6.2) from 

2011-12-06 14:59:16 -0500 that works as expected.

This is the first time that I have compiled MPlayer myself
in a very long time, so I cannot say when the problem started.


Regards,
John Brown.
