 I missed that in the various distractions that kept me from using an 
up-to-date version of GDB, but now that I came across it the hard way the 
bright pink version line hurts my eyes and disturbs me.  Setting:

set style enabled off

in ~/.gdbinit does not make any change to it, so I find it a functional 
regression.  I'm sure there were important reasons to make this change, 
but can we please get it under user control somehow?
