[LLVMdev] Color diagnostics

[Perry Hung]

Hi Hans,

I used the official Ubuntu binary:
http://llvm.org/releases/3.6.0/clang+llvm-3.6.0-x86_64-linux-gnu-ubuntu-14.04.tar.xz

Seems to me that it should be an optional dependency. If the target system
has tinfo or ncurses, it should use it, otherwise fallback to no color.
