Well, this patch seems to be incorrect, but I think I can find a
better one.  The current way of rc.d scripts' display is *forcing*
white bold text.  But this is not the right way, we shall display the
current text color in bold.  This is possible thanks to this code:

    \033[1m

The next thing to do with this one is to find a nice color that will
work fine in $C_H2.  It's (most of the time) a light cyan color,
barely readable on a white terminal.

A patch resolving *most* of the issues (expect $C_H2) is included.
