The color is redundant: only serves to hilight what information is already there. RED means that the flag is currently set, and will still be set when you compile. BLUE means the same as the minus sign, meaning that the flag is currently unset and will still be unset when you compile. GREEN means the same as the *, it means that the flag will be changed compare to the current version. For example, in your output, that means that the previous version of gaim was compiled without tcltk support, and the new one will be compiled with tcltk support. YELLOW is the same as %, it means that the flag did not exist for the previous version. W -- "Last year I tried to borrow pencils and pens and hold them together while rotating myself.
