Eric Nielsen 268a570ae3 [utility] Use CLICOLOR for coloured output in BSD
instead of aliasing `ls` to `ls -G`.
CLICOLOR is detected not only by `ls`, but by `tree` too (starting with
version 1.8.0). See http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/changes.html

It's probably more widely used by other tools too.
