file coloring

[Kisel Jan <j kisel rambler ru>]

Good day!

I suggest you mc patch to apply file-coloring scheme based on file name pattern.
For using this possibility apply patch, then paste `file_color' variable to [Colors] section of your ~/.mc/ini file, formed like further:
------------
[Colors]
file_color=*.c,*.h,*.cpp=brown,blue:*.gz,*.tar,*.bz2,*.zip,*.rar,*.tgz,*.tbz,*.rpm=cyan,blue:*.avi,*.mpg,*.mp3=green,blue:*.ini,*.conf,*.cfg,*_conf,.*rc,.profile=magenta,blue
-------------
I realize that this patch realization is not well, but I'm sure that idia to inculcate such in mc will please many users.
Patch text (also can be found at ftp://85.21.236.244/pub/patches/mc-4.6.1/patch-fcolors):
