9772	EIA-608 closed caption colors	Jim Stichnoth <stichnot@…>	danielk	"This patch adds support for colors, italics, and underlining to EIA-608 closed captions.  (Sorry to say that I didn't add flashing support...)

Currently only intra-line formatting is supported, and not formatting associated with preamble address codes, as I haven't seen any examples of the latter in my testing.

In an ideal implementation, each character would be decorated with color/italic/underline attributes which would be extracted by the caption renderer.  However, this approach looked like it would involve fairly major changes, so I took a different approach.  Formatting commands are embedded into the caption string as two-character control sequences like ""%a"", ""%b"", etc. for the renderer to decode.  This works well in practice, but might cause anomalies with backspacing and direct addressing via preamble address codes.
