The second problem is quite solvable: C++ features are used
at their minimum and it will be easy to rewrite in on plain C.
About the first problem: now colorer uses "Apache Software License".
Is it acceptable for us?
If yes, maybe usage of colorer can be considered
as our plan for the distant future?
It is too tasty dessert to miss it.
