Highlight strings using the ANSI terminal escape sequences

From the histring README: This program simply highlights strings using ANSI terminal escape codes. It started out as sample code for using regular expressions but it turned out that I used it so much that I thought it warrented a release. One of the most common things I use the program for is helping me parse the output of grep and diff. I think that this programs functionality should be folded in to those programs but until then histring does the job nicely.
