title: Colored build output in Visual Studio
body: <p>I am using a Visual Studio project with custom build script/batch file (ala make, ant, etc.).</p>
  
  <p>When the build is run from the command line we have placed colored highlighting on various output lines.</p>
  
  <p>However, when built via Visual Studio (2005 in my case) the output window does not show the color anymore.</p>
  
  <p>Is this possible? I am quite happy to put specific code into the build script if required.</p>
