Add an old man-page that I had sitting around.

[\fIFILE\fR]... ++ ++.SH DESCRIPTION ++Print last 10 lines of each FILE to standard output. ++With more than one FILE, precede each with a header giving the file name. ++ ++\fBcolortail\fR works like tail but can optionally read one or more config files ++where it's specified which patterns results in which colors. ++ ++\fBcolortail\fR uses regular expressions (see \fIregex(7)\fR) to determine ++which lines and parts of lines to print in which colors. ++ ++.SH USAGE ++Most options are easily understandood. The only somewhat strange option is the ++\fI-k\fR option that specifies the config files so \fBcolortail\fR knows what ++should be printed in which color. ++ ++If only one config file and one or more tail files is given the config file ++is treated as a global one, i.e. ++ ++\fBcolortail\fR \fI-k\fR conf.global file1 file2 file3 ++ ++Multiple config files are separated with a , and if one tail file shouldn't ++have a config file just leave it blank, i.e. ++ ++\fBcolortail\fR \fI-k\fR conf.file1,,conf.file3 file1 file2 file3 ++ ++.SH OPTIONS ++This program follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options ++starting with two dashes (`--').

The file mapps one or more regular ++expressions to one of the following colors: brightblue, brightred, ++brightwhite, blue, cyan, green, magenta, yellow.
