Thanks Jeff; it looks good, and I'm glad to see colour spelt better than I had
dared hope!

Just a few minor things:

1. The descriptions of the new options don't line up with the other global
options, at least on my terminal:
ie:
        -v                  Display the version of Publican
        --config <file>     Use a nonstandard config file
        --nocolours Disable ANSI colourisation of logging
        --quiet     Disable all logging

This is purely cosmetic, but it might bother some people.


2. Also, I found that these new options had to be entered after the action, eg

   publican build --quiet
not 
   publican --quiet build

The usage help (and the Publican documentation) seem to assume that global
options never appear together with an action, but my experience with other
command line tools does lead me to expect that global options will precede
actions, eg:
   svn --non-interactive update


3. The Publican documentation hasn't been updated to describe these options,
but I don't know if that's significant at this point.

Thanks for the quick turnaround!
