See the tinderbox log attached to bug #332287 — almost unreadable because of colour escape codes. Having an option to ignore colours like portage-utils has it would make possible for Portage to pass it when NOCOLOR=1 is set in make.conf as it is for the tinderbox.

the framework is already in place to support this via portage-utils.  it's just stubbed to 1 all the time.

paxinc.h:#define color 1
