Normally the stderr and stdout are both tied to the terminal of my tcshell.
Is it possible to tweak the shell so that all STDERR output is colored
distinctively, say in red?

Oh, you're goin' to love this....

There are so many script frontends to colorize (colourize?) output
streams, that it seems a waste to reinvent the wheel. Just a subset
of my personal notes of scripts, Linux source, and howtos to do so,
are:
