Thank you for this contribution!

I actually was told by the S-Lang author John E. Davis that S-Lang should
enable color automatically, just like ncurses.  The fact that it doesn't 
happen may be a bug that needs to be fixed, not worked around.

I'll consider this patch for inclusion when I have a chance to look 
closely at the problem.

It's pretty annoying that MC has to be forced to use color on many
terminals.
