Well, it's nice in console, but not that for analyzing. I would prefer
disable option for that.

Also i wrote simple wrapper, to allow browsing logs from web. It might
need some tuning (see if "ANSI: " string comes out and add some colors
- only 2 colors are converted for now), but it works nice for my
asterisk logs :)

  function logfile_ansi_to_html($str) {
    $tokens = explode(chr(27).'[',$str);
    $result = array_shift($tokens);
    foreach ($tokens as $k=>$v) {
      $end = 8;
      $code = substr($v,0,$end);
      if ($code=='0;37;40m') $result .= '</b>';
      else if ($code=='1;36;40m') $result .= '<b style="color: navy">';
      else if ($code=='1;35;40m') $result .= '<b style="color: #cc3366">';
      else $result .= 'ANSI:'.$code;
      $result .= substr($v,$end);
    }
    return $result;
  }
