help: attempt to clarify that pager usage is not output length based This may be too subtle of a change to get the point across, but when I first read the original text, I thought maybe the pager would only be invoked if writing more than a screenful. The distinction between this and a pager that simply exits after printing less than a screenful is important on Windows, given the inability of `more` to color output.

help: document color/pager pitfalls on Windows Even though I figured this out a few weeks ago, I was initially puzzled where the color went when I upgraded to 4.2 on a different Windows machine. Let's point users reading the help into the right direction. I wonder if we should be even more explicit about cmd.exe/MSYS/pager/color interplay, but at least all of the breadcrumbs are here (I think).
