We were composing at the same time I think, and independently posted. Either
that or its some sort of Ada resonance.

Continue to enforce the naming convention for decorated parts that makes it
easy to derive what the base part is from the decorated name and vice versa
(in teh sense that the decorated name is a tack-on)

Need this as a user exit to some scanning/image processing program. Todd's
mosaic maker actually does a good job of this... the technology ought to be
leveragable. Pick the pallete and force choosing from that palette. Then
ignore error dithers.
