ANN: ANSITerminal-0.3

[N. Owen Gunden]

ANSITerminal is a small module to display colors and allow cursor
movements on ANSI compliant terminals.

Homepage: http://math.umh.ac.be/an/software.php#x4-90008
Godi package: godi-ansiterminal

This package was formerly known as "Console".

O'Caml ANSIColor[1] has been deprecated in favor of this library, as
ANSIColor's functionality is now a subset of ANSITerminal.

Special thanks to Christophe Troestler for working with me on this.

It should be noted that Christophe Troestler is the primary author of
ANSITerminal--I am merely a contributor and the godi package maintainer.
(Hump maintainer(s), please take note :).

I could use so help though, especially for these two things:

* There are some sequences to read the cursor or the mouse position.
  It's not clear to me from where the response should be read.

* It is possible to configure DOS/windows shells to understand ANSI
  sequences.  However, it does only work for DOS only programs which
  OCaml's are not considered to be.  So it would be nice to know how
  to do it -- or maybe write a C stub with the same interface...
