If I do "man ls" in the xterm without underlining, words that are meant to be
displayed with an underline are displayed with a magenta foreground (likewise
bold is displayed as blue).
If a console can't do this, then presumably Emacs could by specifying the
button face as magenta.
Another possibility is to make the button face inherit from link, or info-xref
face, then, by default it gets displayed as cyan. A long time ago I had a
patch (which I've lost now) which kept track of destinations visited in the
help buffer and used info-xref-visited for them.
