For V5, the color issue would have to be resolved in a different way than I
was proposing, since the connectivity information won't be there.

I think it might be best to hold off on this patch until after V6
development is open since it is not a major bug fix and it would be prudent
to do a fair amount of testing that this doesn't impact netlisting.
