[logback-user] ANSI coloring?

[Adam Gordon]

Ack.  Sorry.  That wasn't clear.  Who controls [ERROR] being red, for example?  That was the question I was trying to ask.  If the highlight.xml file is what controls this, along with the ability to set the actual terminal codes (our terminal codes add bold, e.g., to some of the log levels), I believe we can use this.
