The colorgcc is a perl script written by Jamie Moyers to colorize the terminal
output of C++, CC, CCACHE, G++, GCC so error messages can be found within
longer compiler outputs.

Usage:

Call the compiler name with the 'color-' prefix, eg:
    color-gcc
    color-g++
    color-cc
    color-c++

That's it. Alternatively you may want to create following handy
aliases:

    alias gcc='color-gcc'
    alias g++='color-g++'
    alias cc='color-cc'
    alias c++='color-c++'

The default settings can be overridden with ~/.colorgccrc.
See the comments in the sample .colorgccrc for more information.

Note:

colorgcc will only emit color codes if:

    (1) Its STDOUT is a tty and
    (2) the value of $TERM is not listed in the "nocolor" option.

If colorgcc colorizes the output, the compiler's STDERR will be
combined with STDOUT. Otherwise, colorgcc just passes the output from
the compiler through without modification.
