If you added escape sequences to the string constants in the gcc source
then it would only work for the C locale messages.  And isn't your whole
complaint that colorgcc fails for non-C locales?  In other words, this
would not do anything in the very case you care about, because in non-C
locales the message strings are taken from the po file and not the
literal strings in the source code.
