Re: [PATCH 1/8] Import $LS_COLORS parsing code from coreutils

This could could help highlight files in ls-files or status output, or
even diff --name-only (but that's questionable).

This code is from coreutils.git commit
7326d1f1a67edf21947ae98194f98c38b6e9e527 file src/ls.c. This is the
last GPL-2 commit before coreutils turns to GPL-3.

I don't know if this is something to consider but for my mac, I have another 
variable CLICOLOR which shows the colors if it is set. This is also true with 
FreeBSD[1] as well. I don't know if that should be checked if you're on those 
systems.

I think it would be nice to have --color flag as well if you want to enable 
color output for just that one output.
