I believe that all points have been answered and I waited one week as
usual.

None of the changes that I pushed deal with the terminal bugs or with
the Eshell bug.  This is a separate issue.

I've addressed Ricardo's points:

- M-x shell font-locking is not influenced by the colors of the programs
  being executed.  M-x shell supports ANSI colors and it's expected of
  programs to display colors.

- PAGER=cat does not do the job as we discussed later.

I believe the changes I pushed are going in the right direction.  Please
let me know if this introduced a regression.

Cheers!
