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
