Another one.  Global message functions for use in arch scripts.... I'd
like to propose the following, for /usr/lib/archlinux/functions

#!/bin/sh

. /etc/rc.conf

if [ "$USECOLOR" = "YES" -o "$USECOLOR" = "yes" ]; then
    C_WARN="\033[1;33m"     # warning
    C_ERROR="\033[1;31m"    # error
    C_MSG="\033[1;32m"      # message prefix
    C_PLAIN="\033[1;1m"     # plain text

    C_CLEAR="\033[1;0m"
fi

normal() {
    echo -e "    $1"
}
plain() {
    echo -e "    $C_PLAIN$1$C_CLEAR"
}

msg() {
    echo -e "$C_MSG==>$C_CLEAR $C_PLAIN$1$C_CLEAR"
}
warning() {
    echo -e "$C_WARN==> WARNING:$C_CLEAR $C_PLAIN$1$C_CLEAR" >&2
}
error() {
    echo -e "$C_ERROR==> ERROR:$C_CLEAR $C_PLAIN$1$C_CLEAR" >&2
}

#### TESTING ###

plain "hello there, this is plain"
msg "this is a message"
normal "this text is just normal"
warning "danger will robinson!"
error "you're doing it wrong!"
