colorls has a whole bunch of problems.  However, linuxls with colors
actually work quite nicely - it defaults to no colors (yeah!), and has
a '--color=tty' option that will only do color sequences if you
actually use a tty, making it work without problems in a pipe.

I think having that as part of our ls would be good for 'sales' - but
it isn't so important I'm going to take the effort of arguing for it
(but maybe I'll implement it if there suddenly seems to be a consensus
shouting for it :)
