  * use colored output when piping it through a pager

  I previously had to set DARCS_ALWAYS_COLOR=1 to get colored output when a
  pager is invoked, which has become the rule rather than the exception. But
  that makes darcs output color codes even when the user redirects the output
  to a file, which is not something anybody wants to happen. The trick is to
  pass the printers the stdout /before/ we invoke the pager (and ignore the
  handle it gets passed later when stdout is the write end of the pipe).
