Hi @netkiller

Thanks for your PR, but I don't want to add color support to texttable.
I already provided an answer on this topic in the past (cf #14).

I can add two more reasons specific to this PR:

1. I played a bit with your version, and in order to
   get color working on windows, I had to add a call
   to colorama.init(convert=True) in order to get colors
   displayed properly. Depending on the target OS, the
   code has to be changed in order to work properly.

2. the regexp used to remove the ansi sequences is
   pretty rough, does not handle all kind of ansi sequences
   (does not support semicolon separated sequences,
   does not support every kind of ansi sequences, etc...).

As I'm the maintainer of this lib, I don't want to deal with
semi-implemented features that would generate a lot of
issues because of edge cases not handled properly.

Feel free to fork if you want to add color support on your own.
Thanks for your PR and for your interest on this library.

Best regards.
