[pacman-dev] [PATCHv2 00/10] Add color to script output

[William Giokas]

This is a version two of the original pacman script color patches that I
sent in. This includes three new patches, and a fix to the first patch so
that I don't break `pkgver()` functions in makepkg.

---

Originally, output_format.sh sent some messages to sdtout and some to
stderr, but this patch set sends all messages formatted by output_format to
stderr making separation of script output and child processes easy to
separate. The QUIET variable can be used to get the equivalent of only
printing stderr. I'm going to start working on using a flag to determine
where the messages from output_format go, as per Dave's suggestion.

The script patches try to implement the same color styles as makepkg, mostly
by consolidating the message formats into a single library file and
including that in all of the files that require it. 

In the pacdiff patch, I simply changed the colors, making it use a similar
format as the other files. output_format also got a new function, `ask`,
that looks similar to `msg2` but without a new line at the end for use with
`read`. I don't know if the look is okay, I was thinking about making it
look like pacman's questions, with a pair of blue colons instead of an
arrow. If anyone has input on this, please speak up.

The rest of the patches just implement a similar look as makepkg, using
`==>` and `->` to precede messages, and colored errors and warnings.

The use of a unified output_format file also affords makepkg the --quiet
option, setting the `QUIET` variable to suppress messages that are not
warnings, errors or output from a command in a PKGBUILD.
