A little extension to tmux to improve window label coloring :)

If you have a set of windows in tmux and one generates a bell and another just spews some activity, they will both be colored the same way.  Yes, the window label flags will be different, but if you're trying to quickly glance at all of your windows to see what's up, it's easier (at least for me) to go by color.

This patch:
http://jwcxz.com/projects/tmux-wstatus/
adds the configuration options window-status-{activity,content,bell}-{attr,fg,bg} so you can configure these styles separately.

A PKGBUILD, which is just a copy of tmux-cvs plus the three or so lines required to add the patch can be found here:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39424

Example:

IDK, maybe it'll be useful for other people too.

Does this apply to only tmux CVS, or can it work with the stable version?

Regardless, brilliant job!
