This is available already! In ansi-color.el there is a function
ansi-color-apply-on-region -- Kai has told me that he will have a look
how to integrate this function into the man stuff. It should be
straightforward, but, as usual, we lack the manpower to do that
quickly. Since a work-around is available, it hasn't too much a
priority I fear.
