Make OS X Terminal respect 256 colors in screen

1. Ensure that Terminal declares itself as "xterm-256color"

Under Terminal > Preferences... > (Profile) > Advanced, "Declare terminal as:" should be set to xterm-256color.

2. Build a version of screen that supports 256 colors

This is easy with homebrew:

brew install screen
#!/bin/sh
# Compile a list of changed files
FILES=`git diff --name-only HEAD^`
# Attempt to fix whitespace issues
for FILE in `egrep -l '(\s$| {1,3}\t)' $FILES`
do
# Remove trailing whitespace
(sed -i 's/[ ]*$//' $FILE > /dev/null 2>&1 || sed -i '' -E 's/[ ]*$//' $FILE)
