syntax highlighting in dired

syntax highlighting in dired

[Tom Wurgler]

In emacs 20-, I used to be able to control syntax highlighting, such as 
which color to use for subdirs, which color to use for symbolic links etc.

Now in eacs 21.2, I want to modify the colors.  I currently have
`global-font-lock-mode' set, so I get the default colors.  The only place I can
find reference to the colors is in dired.el itself, but this would require
changing the colors of the faces, would change all mode syntax highlighting.

Is there a convenient way to change just the dired colors?

Thanks
Tom
