As far as I know:
- kdevelop does not run 'make' in a PTY
- color Makefiles generated by CMake only color if isatty() is true

Therefore, does the above really apply?

I think it would make sense to still generate color Makefiles, for when 
people use the kdevelop generator but run 'make' in a normal terminal 
(emulator).
