Yes, but there's no mention anywhere in the ls docs about what variable
you have to set in the [ls] section to actually turn the color on.  The
LS_COLORS definition in there is fine and dandy, but that just defines
the colors; it doesn't let you turn them on or off by default.

What I am looking for specifically is something like the DIRCMD
variable, which sets default options to pass to the DOS 'dir' command. 
Or an .lsinit.  Or anything like that.  ;)
