I'm not comfortable editing the registry settings when installing PhD
(doubt its even possible using the PEAR installer).
If someone knows a simple way to enable colors on Windows I'm game for it.

His bugreport is however correct, colors are enabled by default on
*nix, I however forgot to update the help text (like he said) when I
changed the defaults :)
