Just out of curiousity, can you describe _why_ green looks bad on those
terminals?  The reason for the `yellow problem' on xterms is low contrast of
a light color on a light color (non-bold yellow is rather muddy, but still
light) -- is yellow on pc/w32 actually darker than green?

Non-bold yellow looks a little better, but still quite bad.  Enough so that
it is still basically unacceptable, I think.
