12 The color is redundant: only serves to hilight what information is
13 already there.
14
15 RED means that the flag is currently set, and will still be set when
16 you compile.
17
18 BLUE means the same as the minus sign, meaning that the flag is
19 currently unset and will still be unset when you compile.
20
21 GREEN means the same as the *, it means that the flag will be changed
22 compare to the current version. For example, in your output, that
23 means that the previous version of gaim was compiled without tcltk
24 support, and the new one will be compiled with tcltk support.
25
26 YELLOW is the same as %, it means that the flag did not exist for the
27 previous version.
