Console: please add flag to disable formatting

[jessegreathouse]

We run automated deployment and the log from our deployment software doesn't have the pretty colors that we get in the terminal:

^[[32mSyncing^[[0m ^[[33mDatabase^[[0m...
Dropping ^[[33medudirect_stage^[[0m on ^[[33m172.16.80.70^[[0m

^[[37;41m ^[[0m
^[[37;41m [Exception] ^[[0m
^[[37;41m You must pass the --force flag to drop the database ^[[0m
^[[37;41m ^[[0m

^[[32medudirect:sync [--em[="..."]] [--from[="..."]] [--to[="..."]] [--force] targets^[[0m

Its a bit of a strain to read logs that look like this. Please give us a flag that will disable output formatting.

How do you generate those? The Console automatically disables colors when not talking to an output that understands them.

Im using phing for the scripting and the phing ssh task uses http://pecl.php.net/package/ssh2 for the remote client layer.

here's an example use case:
