Satoshi Asami de40ddbf21 Make this work with -current sources. Also fetch tarball from LOCAL_PORTS,
having people fetch from the FreeBSD-current archive (and having it
break at unpredictable times) wasn't a good idea.

This is a simple hack to the FreeBSD /bin/ls to use ANSI sequences to
display file attributes in color. There is a -G flag (somewhat
similar to the -F flag). Take a look at the man page for details.
The program is called "colorls" and installs itself in /usr/local/bin.
The file patches/patch-aa is the diffs from the 3.0-current (as of
1997/01/01) /usr/src/bin/ls directory.
Standard xterm prior to XFree86 3.1.2B doesn't know about colors, so
you should use update your XFree86 or use kterm (available from the ports
collection).
