coloring stdout && stderr, small kbuild example

[Oleg Verych]

Those boring never-ending builds...

Can some dualCPU power be spent, if building is interactive (i.e. sent to
terminal), to have them a bit colored?

My last rant about "colored printk()" led away from kernel developers
and their solutions. But now, let me share something.

(maybe some terminal emulators have more colors, finally?) usage:

olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ stty -tostop ; mkfifo stdout.pipe stderr.pipe
olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ sh ./colorize-linux-build.sh <stdout.pipe &

olecom@flower:/tmp/blinux$ COLORIZERR=y sh colorize-linux-build.sh <stderr.pipe &
[2] 22145
