I will try to do this ASAP, but my ASAP might be too long, given my
current lack of free time.

I've proofread your changes, and they seem to be okay.  So if someone
could actually test them on rxvt or a 16-color xterm or on the Windows
console, I think it's okay to go ahead and commit these changes.  Even
if no one tests them, I think they are still okay to commit (unless
others object to these changes); we can always fix later what might
become broken.

An excellent decision, IMHO.  Thanks.
