Bug#845395: cowdancer: don't swamp log when non-color term is used [with patch]

[Norbert Preining]

Package: cowdancer
Version: 0.81
Severity: normal

Dear all,

with color support added to cow*, now, if the current terminal entry
doesn't include a "colors" capability (e.g., the terminal "dumb"),
the program now gives a useless error message.

Below is the trivial diff which simply omits the error. It does not change
the behavior since if colors < 0, it is certainly also < 8.

-  if (colors < 0)

-
   return colors >= 8;


Thanks

Norbert
