The print_color_on_off was used for copy-on-fork which as you see has no 
set function,

I was simply trying to be consistent with this file convention & style, 
whereas print_color_string was used for the other configurable value 
("netns"), I can obviously change that if you all see it as necessary.

You are absolutely correct, but just as well was trying to maintain same 
code style as the previous configurable value we have here, but I think 
using parse_on_off here can save us some code.

If no one else has any comments soon, and these two comments are 
actually considered critical I can re-send my patches with those issues 
fixed.
