Hi all,
Does someone have an opinion about this kind of patches? Regardless of
implementation details, is output coloring something that people find
interesting for OVS? I made the patch because I found it somewhat difficult
to read output from |ovs-ofctl dump-flows| (obviously). I do find it easier
to read the flows with colors, and it could be extended to support output
from other command / tools. But I would like to know if this seems to be an
interesting feature to the community before I invest more time into it; so
feedback is welcome!

Best regards,
Quentin
