One comment here: Wouldn't it be easier to put this handling into syslogd, so that you don't end up with another wad of PC specific code in the kernel? Syslogd, after all, can be easily told what sort of terminal the console is, and can do colorization even in the case where you're running a headless box over a color Wyse 50 (or somesuch)
