Obviously, you don't want to set a player to color complete
no matter what, otherwise they'll get garbage if their terminal
does not support color. A check at logon is better.
The way to implement something like that would be to add new
a CON_QUERY_COLOR to the big switch in nanny() (interpreter.c),
and set each new connection to have CON_QUERY_COLOR as the
default connection state instead of CON_GET_NAME. Probably
somewhere in comm.c, just grep for it.
