Full variant:
Look at color 'ls' for example of proper colors implementation via termcap
database. The same thing can be done via {n}curses if someone not want to
deal with termcap/terminfo stuff. In addition of looking at TERM variable
grotty should have an option to specify TERM variable at command line.
Short variant:
Grotty should have non-default option indicating that output device is
capable to display ANSI colors.
Making assumption that every thing support ANSI color is Linuxism, someone
should explain this to groff developers.
