The color might be a minor problem but another is that the messages will get
buried if there is a lot of STATUS.

As much as I hate the popup in CMakeSetup I have to wonder if burying a
warning that used to emit a popup so the user may have to scrollback to even
see it is necessarily a good change.

Perhaps a popup should be added again (obviously leaving some kind of
bold/colored output in place).  A simple checkbox on the bottom that says
"Skip future warning messages during this configure" or something like that
would be far better than how CMakeGui handles the case of multiple popups
becoming disruptive.
