I wish it were that easy, but this doesn't seem to work. The
rectangles corresponding to numbers larger than the CLR_* indices all
seem to map to white. And nothing changes, even when I run WinGIF
seamlessly to change the physical palette.

Surely there must be *some* way to iterate through the physical screen
colors in PM!!
