Perhaps this belongs in a FAQ.  The UNIX SysV/386 consoles require the
color bytes to be sent out in a different ORDER than nethack sends 'em.
Once you find the right piece of code (there are fourteen thousand
identical printf's that send out color codes #ifdef'ed under different
machines/OS'es) its a two line fix, tops.

C'mon, Nethack is up there with GNUemacs on the AMAZING scale, and I adore
every person who wrote a line of it, but its a total HACK!
