I have some changes in the queue which add a simple
model of screen attributes (colors in particular) to the
wscons code.
I did this mostly because I like the way pcvt displays
kernel output (white-on-red).
On alpha/TGA one could display the kernel printouts
reversed (black-on-white). (Until somebody adds
color support to the TGA driver.)

Would you like this as default, or would it be
annoying for you?

best regards
Matthias
