the library. Just remove the file first and then copy it. `make install`
handles the install in this way and is therefore not affected.
+As a simple safeguard, `make` builds and installs the `libcoloredstderr.so`
+file non-writable to prevent accidental overwrites. Even if the overwrite is
+forced with `cp -f`, the file is unlinked and recreated by `cp` because the
+file is non-writable, preventing the problem.

are colored.
+To set custom colors as pre/post strings you can use the `$''` feature of Bash
+and Zsh:
+
+ export COLORED_STDERR_PRE=$'\033[91m' # bright red
+ export COLORED_STDERR_POST=$'\033[0m' # default
+
+Or to be more compatible you can use the following which should work in any
+Bourne shell:
+
+ esc=`printf '\033'`
+ COLORED_STDERR_PRE="${esc}[91m" # red
+ COLORED_STDERR_POST="${esc}[0m" # default
+ export COLORED_STDERR_PRE COLORED_STDERR_POST
