Fine, call me out on my laziness. :)  Done it properly, now (even
works with -P, and allows environment variable GTAGSCOLOR for -C).
Patch is slightly big for email, so grab it from my site:

http://global.adoxa.vze.com/color1.txt

It expects to be applied on top of the previous patch, and also fixes
some other things:

Tweaks convert.pl so the info version has actual cross-references, but
I only updated (and tweaked) global/manual.in.  It translates
"@xref{tag,1,}" to "tag(1) (@pxref{tag})"; "@xref{tag,1,:}" to
"tag(1) (@pxref{Top,,,tag})"; and "@xref{tag,1,file:node}" to
"tag(1) (@pxref{node,,,file})".

Frees the regex in completion_tags.  Adds '*' & '|' as regex characters.
Explicitly add --regexp to lid, since it apparently doesn't recognise
them, either.  Use quote_shell for lid's pattern (quote_string escapes
all the regex characters).

Includes stdlib.h in libglibc/obstack.c - this removes warnings about
missing abort & exit.  Adds casts to spawnvp in gtags-cscope/exec.c and
execvp in plugin-factory/exuberant-ctags.c - this removes warnings about
the argv type.  I guess these only apply to Windows; I don't think
the first two should affect Unix, but the latter might.
