Yes, this is pretty much what I was thinking as well... I had started to
implement this (such that I had bogl_cfb16_put() working with a software
colormap) but I wanted to see what ideas you had on it before forging ahead.
There was something about emulating a pseudocolor visual that struck me as
being a little strange, but it does seem to be the simplest thing to do.
I'll probably throw in 4bpp packed-pixel support too, since I've got a test
machine for it (this one, in fact - it's rather common on 68k Macs :-)
