By default program enables color. However if run inside standard Emacs
M-x shell, the color cored are not interpreted and the output looks
garbled.
Please consider applying the following patch which adds exception for
Emacs.
Consideration not to enable colors by default
-----------------------------------------------
(1) In general, it might be considered that programs wouldn't use
colors by default. It's quite impossible to select correct colors for
various terminals considering that user may have chosen their own
default backgrounds and foregrounds -- thus the program's choices may
not play well with the users' selected colors.
(2) Typically features are enabled by request.
E.g in git(1) colors are enabled explicitly.
