Humm, actually probably nobody ever tried this on Windows -- people generally
stick to the GUI version, or use the basic commandline. There is apparently no
possible ANSI support on Windows now (the legacy ANSI.SYS is no longer
useable, and command.com is dead)

ansicon -i (https://github.com/adoxa/ansicon/downloads) is reported to work by
various people, but only if the architecture version is the same (64-bit or
32-bit), because it apparently rely on dirty process injection.
